May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I worked with Corky at the Barcelona Harbor House for many years. She was wonderful to work with and always spoke very fondly of her family, especially her Granddaughter. RIP Corky. You will be missed!

Corky was a wonderful "other mother" to me and an awesome grandma to my kids growing up. I think of her often and will love and remember her always.
