So sorry to hear that great aunt Corky has passed away. We had been corresponding since Grandma Arnold passed away. She was also there for me when my mother-Joyce (Arnold) Daniels passed away. I will miss her, her wisdom and faith that she expressed to me. Will keep you all in our prayers during this difficult time. God Bless you all!
