    Brad and Family,
    Sincere Heartfelt condolences. A long while, but still a shock to learn such sad news. Corlette always spoke with such great love and pride of you and your family, her greatest joy. I know it was mutual. Her capacity for empathy and understanding, for love and devotion to family, community and all concerned was inspirational and constant, and a gift to be remembered. Had time allowed, it could have been so much more, but concerning Corlette, it could not have been better.

    I worked for Farm Credit Canada (Lambeth Office then, now London Office) for 18+ years, during the late 80’s and early 2000’s and had the pleasure of knowing Corlette. She was sincere, genuine, kind and always a pleasure to visit with and deal with. She most definitely earned the title of warrior. She gave it her best shot trying to beat the unforgiving disease, cancer. She was always very proud of her family and I know her memory will live on through all of you. My sincere and heartfelt sympathy to all of you at this difficult time. I will always remember her smile.
