I enjoyed doing Cori´s hair all these years. She had so much spunk. Always gave me a smile. I will miss her greatly. Prayers for all the family. The salon name was called Gemerations partially due to Cori and all her family I got to know over the years. This last fall I let the Generations name go and work independently. So the name is gone and now Cori. She will be missed.

Thoughts and prayers for the family. Harvey and I used to go over and see Cory and Dale along. Remember the raccoon the boys had. Had some good times with them. So sorry to hear she passed on, but she is with the Lord! Margaret L Fetro- Mullholand
