“The eyes are the windows to the soul” and Cori had the most beautiful eyes. They reflected love, warmth, compassion, joy and understanding.

Her smile was uplifting, her laughter contagious, and her personality unforgettable.

God gave Cori many gifts, among those were talent which she used to become an extraordinary, creative artist. But for those of us whose lives she touched, the priceless gift God gave to us was Cori.

Her passing has caused much sorrow on earth, but in heaven it has created joy. Because she is in heaven what she was on earth – an angel.

My heartfelt sympathies go to her family.

My picture is of her smiling and laughing. Cori is an eternally positive, loving, kind friend. My heart hurts. My love to Corinne and Ian.

Cori was that candle in the darkness, the smile among sadness, and the laughter amid a serious world.

I knew her for many years from the salon on Paoli and was priviledged to get updates and pass wishes to her through our friend Mary.

She will always be remembered as that talented, fun-loving person who could out-smile a Cheshire cat.

Go with God, my dear.

A very happy time we shared.
