Paula,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. She was a beautiful lady.

Professor Corn was a wonderful teacher and role model. It was because of her class that I chose accounting as my profession and I often think of her and that class and how it set my path in life. Because of her inspiration I have had a wonderful career and I have been able to provide a great life for my family. God bless you, Professor Corn and thanks for being such a great role model.

Mrs. Corn was one of my favorite professors at Radford College in the early 60's and one I have never forgotten. She was such a smart, vibrant individual who loved her students. I have thought of her with fond memories many times over the past years. I was quite saddened to learn of her passing. May God comfort you during this difficult time.

John and Karen, we are so sorry for your mother's passing. Mrs. Corn was such a wonderful person!!! We have you in our prayers and thoughts. We love both of you all dearly.

John - our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Paula and John, I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I remember being so impressed by her when growing up "on the hill". She always had a smile for everyone. Please know that she and your dad will always be remembered fondly.

John, I am saddened to hear of your loss....your wise and precious mother has been a positive influence on so many people. I am sending up prayers for your dear family in this season of grief.

Polly was a wonderful part of my life growing up at Grove Avenus Methodist Church. The Bondurants, Penningtons, Dyers, Corns - so many contributed to who I am and to my mothers happiness. My mother (Willie Nolley Dole) was secretary at the church for 20 years and dealt with Polly on a daily basis -so I heard about her a lot - all good! When I returned from the military, Polly helped me get re-admitted to Tech (forever greatful!). And wheh mom retired & returned to Radford, she lived at Ralph...

John, Paula Sue and family, I am very sad for your loss. Most of my 25 years that I lived in Radford are encircled by the memories of Polly and Ralph. They begin as a little boy chasing golf balls for them at their Monroe Terrace home, and it ends with the memories of your mother on Radford City Council. God be with you, but their memories will endure forever. Sincerely, Todd Bruce and Family
