I will miss Coralea’s beautiful smile that made me feel instantly welcomed into the building. I will treasure the times that I had the pleasure to chat with her and really get to know what a wonderful, caring person she was. She was a kind and gentle woman, but one with a spunk that brought many laughs to my days. She will be greatly missed. My prayers are with your family.

Fred and Jonathan,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of your family. I hope that you know that I cared very much for Coralea. There was nothing that she wouldn't do for you. I was glad that she was the first person that the students saw when they came to PH. She made sure that they got the correct information.

Coralea was one of the sweetest friends I have ever had. I will truly miss our many talks and many laughs. There are so many things I loved about her which included her love for her family. Even after leaving PHCC we still remained friends and she was so happy that I received a full time position. She was a genuine person and so helpful to everyone. Her caring personality and beautiful smile could light up a room.
To her family I pray that God will strenghten you during your time of bereavement and that you find joy just knowing that your loved one touched so many.

Wanted you to know that we are thinking of you and praying for each of you during this very difficult time. We will not be able to be with you but wanted you to know that we are very sad but know that she is not in pain and is singing with the choir in heaven. We all will miss her and her caring ways. I hope to be in Va. during early Sept and may be able to seee you then.
Remember the good times and all of us can be thankful that we knew her and had her with us as long as we did. Love to each. Freddie

CoraLea was the "trunk" of the tree at PHCC. She touched many lives in many ways we all will never know. She was a dear friend, and I will miss our little chats we would sometimes have at the switchboard. CoraLea always had a smile and I am blessed to have known her.

My deepest sympathy to Fredona and the rest of the Love family.
