I miss my beautiful, precious sister-in-law Corinne! The first time I met her, I was a scared and nervous 22 year old - I was hoping Corinne and the rest of the family would like me. My nervousness turned in to joy very quickly. Corinne made me feel loved and welcome into the family almost instantly! I'll never forget that. I will forever miss your smile and laughter my dear Corinne. I love you, you will be forever in my heart.
