Denny, Karen & Denise,
I can't thing of anything else to say but I'm so sorry for your loss. Our prayers were answered when she was found, and how beautiful she was. It seems like just yesterday that Corinne, Denise and I we were laying on the couch watching movies, eating popcorn (and Cotton licking our feet). I will always cherish the time I spent with Corinne and will keep the memories in my heart forever. May she look down on the three of you and watch over you and keep you all safe. God Bless and I love you all.

As a surviving passenger, not a minute goes by that I don't think of Corinne. I so vividly remember her from that day. She'll be in my thoughts and prayers for the rest of my life. My deepest and most heart-felt sympathies go out to her family and friends. God Bless.

Although I didn't know Corinne, your loss has touched me so and I want to extend my deepest sympathy. My son and Andrew played basketball for Vienna Youth; Ed Roccella was his coach and my parents lived in Glenwood/Homewood area so this tragedy has struck home for me. My heart truly aches and breaks for you and the Roccella family.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Schillings, and Denise,
We have known Corinne for four years as she dated Andrew. She has been to our house several times and we loved her as we did Andrew. She was a lovely young woman and fun to be with. I'm glad that God gave us this time to meet her.
Our prayers and deepest sympathies are with you always.
Sincerely,
Ferdinando and Lois Rao

I have known your family as long as I have lived in Homewood. Corinne was a close friend through our musical obsession in junior high, years together in Girl Scouts, French exchange students, a trip to France and many other times. While our lives took us in different directions as we grew older, she is still a cherished part of my life and it is hard to comprehend that she is gone. Mr. Schillings, Mrs. Schillings, and Denise - each of you is also part of my memories and continue to be part of my life. Please know that my thoughts and love are with each of you.

Corinne was such a sweetie and could always make me laugh. I still remember how in 6th grade Corinne, Robin and I would rotate sleeping over at eachother's houses and watching "Stand By Me" every single Friday night...I don't know exactly why we did this, but it was good times :) Corinne had an energy inside her that was contagious and I know she will be missed by everyone who knew her. Mr. Schillings, Mrs. Schillings, and Denise...I am thinking of you.

What do you say to parents who have lost a child? Whether six or twenty six the loss is the same.
How do you comfort someone when they grieve? How do you tell them that things will be all right when their world has collapsed?
We didn't know your daughter, but I feel from what I have read, that she was a good person.
I don't know why things happen the way they do -
But for me, when something like this happens, I have to believe that God needed them worse than we do - that he was one short on angels and he knew we would understand if he took one of ours.
I don't know if this helps you-
but for me, it's the only way I can explain the loss.
I hope that the white light she saw is as beautiful as I believe that it is -
May God Be With You -

I went to school with Corrine. She was one of those all round genuine people. Which now a days is very hard to come by. Mr. Schillings taught me Western Civilization, no matter how much I resisted. I really cannot describe the feeling that came over me when I walked past the new paper stand, did a double take, and read that headline. Mr. & Mrs. Schillings and Denise, I cannot even begin to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Life is eternal and love is immortal and death is a gateway, an entrance and portal into a life that no man can envision, for God has a greater perspective and vision.
