So many fond memories/stories and laughter w/ Corabelle. I had the pleasure of knowing and taking care of Corabelle for almost 3 yrs at LHV. She had so many cute quotes or sayings or doing things in general, but as she would always say "such is life." Whenever Corabelle would see me, she'd called me "Puddintain" followed by (we'd say it together) "ask me again I'll tell you the same." This "Puddintain" will miss her sweet Corabelle. You touched my life for the better and you will be greatly missed. May Heaven be filled w/ butter beans w/ extra butter and beets. God Bless. Love you, Kathy aka Puddintain

My mother was a sorority sister of Corabelle's. Their sorority group met for supper or lunch every month for over sixty years. As the husbands retired they joined in, too. They were extraordinary people and I was privileged to be a tag-a-long.
