Dear Debbie, Patty & Karen, I am so sorry for your loss and mine. She was the only person left who called me Corny. She always represented a Rock in my life. She was always there for me. Your Dad loved her so much he never quite believed his luck in getting her. Just being around those two made me happy. May she rest in peace. Love you Aunt Corny.
