I remember Corinne well from Princeton, where I founded the SHARE program in 1987. An amazing woman- rest in power!

Michael, I recently learned of what happened to Corinne and feeling so sad for you, your kids y demas familia. Truly enjoyed the time spent with you, Corinne and Sophia (who was just an infant at the time) during our visit to Puerto RIco and staying at your Tia Dolly's house. I regret not having kept in touch, getting to share more wonderful moments and meeting your other children, Quentin & Isabel. I am still living in South Florida and would love to have the opportunity to re-connect with you. God Bless All of You and hopeful that we will be able to get together soon. Tu Primo, Willie

I am at a loss for words. Corinne was a true friend, incredidibly empathetic and perceptive. I enjoyed our long conversations and will miss her dearly. I am so sorry. Such a special person.

Our condolences for your loss. We know this is a difficult time, and words cannot truly express how you feel, but please take comfort in what is said in Psalms 145:19. It tells us, that God hear your cries for help, and He will save you.
