Bella Vista, AR Wednesday, June 4, 2014 I just read about Corky, we are so sad to hear of his passing. I wish I were there to give you a big hug. He was so much fun to be around. Dad really loved you both, we just have to remember the good times with them. I'm so glad I stopped at your house before Christmas to see you both. Dad talked about that for a long time afterwards. He was so sorry to hear Corky had cancer. You took very good care of Corky at the end God Bless you and the Angels in Heaven watch over you at the sad time! Love Larry & Lois BarrettClaire Austell
