We have great neighbors but still miss Corene so much. We think of her often.

We fondly remember Corene often. She helped our daughter by driving her to high school rather than her take the city bus. Our granddaughter learned quickly that if she gave Corene a little flower that she would then get ice cream. She was a wonderful neighbor and we miss her greatly.

When I heard of Corene's sudden passing; I couldn't believe it. I met her a few times and felt an instant rapport. She was a warm and gentle person and I know there are many who will miss her and her dedicated service to others. She was a woman with many talents and had a dry wit.
May God Bless her son, Jason, and his family. May all of Corene's friends be blessed for there are those who will sorely miss her incredible friendship.
