Dear Linda, Bobby and Lisa,
Sending you my condolences on the passing of your Mother. She was one of Mom's dearest friends and truly a great lady. Her outgoing and carefree nature made her a joy to be around. We were all fortunate to have had Corrine in our lives, and you for having such a wonderful mother. She lived a full and happy life.

Dear Linda, Bobby, Lisa and all your families - my heart is with you. Your Mom was so special to me and my family and I will miss her always. When I think of her, I remember laughter until it brought tears and a shared love of good food. Being welcomed into your family with a warm heart and open arms and sharing happy times around your table. As a little girl I always thought it was magical that she served pasta with the Thanksgiving dinner and each year I would get in trouble with my Mom because that was all I wanted to eat. I remember her as the San Francisco lady. I was completely in awe of the way she seemed to own that city. But mostly I remember how much she loved all of you and your Dad - and how proud she was of all her lovely grandchildren. I feel so grateful that she was such an important part of my life.
