I’m very sorry to read the passing of your beloved Corinne. Please accept my sincere condolences. I have personally felt comforted by the promise made by God of bringing back to life those who sleep in death (1 Thes. 4:14). So be assured that you’ll be able to hug, kiss and talk to Corinne again. She will come back into an Earth free of suffering, sickness and anything that causes us to shed tears of pain (Rev. 21:4). This hope is both sure and firm because Jehovah God cannot lie (Heb. 6:18; Titus 1:2). Is my sincere desire that you can also find comfort in this words during this difficult time for you.

My Aunt Corky was my favorite Aunt , I wish i could have spent more time with her. My Favorite memories of her are when i was younger and i spent time with her and Ronnie at her house playing and when i had my surgeries Corky would tell me it would be ok. Corky was amazing at everything she did. I went into a foster home, so i lost connection with her, but all my memories of her are the best, i gained some connection with her and my family, but i know she is another angel of mine. i love you and will always miss you. R.I.P. Aunt Corky.
