To the Family, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother and I would like to also say how sorry I was and am about Peggy. Your mother was a good person and a good mother. I guess it has been forty years since I saw any of you but Peggy probably saved my life and your mother was a very kind person. (I am telling you what I never got to tell Peggy), your family is in my prayers.

Dear Corum Family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Ms. Louise was a precious lady. I loved getting her hugs every Sunday when she was able to be in church. Mr. Jesse and she were such a great example of what love looks like! She loved her family and her God so much. May God give you all comfort and peace during this time. Her's was truly a "life well lived."
