"Precious lady" does so describe Korki. Talent like hers is rare, and she did so give of herself. I will always remember the healing treat it was, to have Korki work on my feet. She will be missed, prayers to all of you.

I will NEVER forget this precious lady who came to Anderson Glass and saw I was in pain in my back. She said "sweetie, take those shoes off, I'm going to work on your feet!!" I was so embarrassed because I needed a pedicure and she said she had seen it all. She got a windshield and I got my feet rubbed. I'll never forget her. Her family will be in my prayers.

I had known Korki for just a few years and she was very special. My deepest sympathy for the family. I will miss her smile and personality deeply.
