...And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever Young

I miss you Mom-Mom. Please stay with me always. Thank you for everything. XOXO

Love,

Petunia

I knew Midge in elementary school and have wanted to say hello for a very long time. I have searched the internet many times for Midge Corabi, not finding anything until this morning. I searched "Corabi" on Google and found the obituary with Midge listed as a survivor. I offer my sincerest condolences to Midge, Steve and the family, for your loss.

I am friends with Pookie and always remember going to her grandmother's house. We hung out with her there and listen to her stories that would make us laugh. She will be missed. My thought and prayers are with the whole family.

Thanks for the memories! Many years ago December 1957 we had our after prom get together at the Celebrity Room. Jonathan Winters was the entertainer. Miss Reis greeted us with a wonderful smile and respect. A wonderful evening was had by all.
