Corrie was a kind and joyful soul. She was always cheerful and her energy was contagious to those around her. She was a blessing to so many young people who she lead each year through the internship program. Even when she wasn't feeling well, she keep her spirits high. My prayers are with her family and friends during this time of great loss.
