My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I first met Corene when she came to the baby shower for her granddaughter that would eventually be born to carry Cenoria in her name as a tribute to her grandmother. Corene was loving and accepting. God has a special place for her in his kingdom. God Bless you all and may he grant you peace at this most difficult time.
