Sam is like my 2nd mama...breaks my heart she is gone but she is with Jesus and mama. The laughter was probably deafening when she arrived. She will be missed but we as Christians will see our loved ones in Heaven. May God Bless you girls and your family.

Things will definitely be different around here. Sam, Corky, Cornelia, will be missed. She had many nicknames and meant a lot to a lot of people. She was well know by all the kids around her because of her many years of service to our wonderful school. Prayers for Judy and Carol and all the rest of her family and friends. May she rest in peace. 🙏❤️

Your mother was very friendly and I always appreciated that about Corky. She had just a warm smile and a twinkle in her eye when she talked with me.
