I just saw Corelean @ Wooden Spoon and she was in a great mood. We laughed and joked before we parted ways. She was a very nice person and I considered her family. Our prayers are with you all as you continue on in life.

Lots of laughter, sometimes a tear, but over the years many prayers were said for healing and the love of Christ Jesus in Coralean's life. May these remembrances sustain her family and friends during this time of bereavement.
