What an inspiration Corinne was to all of us! Her life was filled to the brim with gratitude and love for others. If only all of us could look outward, as she did so well.

I have learned to know so many of you through Corinne. She was rather remarkable. I count her as one of my best friends since I moved to Trinity Oaks. I will miss seeing her at the Nursing Home(When you could catch her--she was always out and about in her electric chair.) My sympathy is extended to all of you in her family. She loved you.
