I first met Corliss in high school. Her kindness and positive nature made a big impression on me. Despite her challenges, she touched many lives. I've never forgotten her and was truly saddened to hear of her passing.

So sorry to hear of her passing. We were friends in High School. We went bike riding and watched nature together. Her Mom would make us lunch. I would see her at work in Dorothy Ruths. I lost touch with her after I moved and am sorry I did. I looked for her but never found her. She loved to watch the squirrels. She was a sweet spirit. My condolences to her family.

Sorry to hear about Corliss. I only attended one class reunion (20th) and I am trying to remember if that was the last time I saw her. We were friends in fourth grade. I remember going to her house near Page School, to play (remember when we used to go over someone's house to play?) Her parents were very sweet and welcoming. As we became teenagers perhaps we were not always as attentive but I will always remember that she really opened up once you got to know her. Rest In Peace Corliss.

I was sorry to hear about Corliss. We were good friends in our early teens, and enjoyed Girls Scouts together.

Corliss loved the Rolling Stones, as I recall. She would like to be Mick and I was Keith, I think. British accents and all.

I look forward to seeing you, again, my friend.

Corliss and I were good friends in our early teens, before I moved away. We were in Girl Scouts together. I remember how she loved the Rolling Stones! She would be Mick and , oh, I forgot who I was, because I didn't know the Stones 'til later in my life. See you again, Corliss !
