IN LOVING MEMORY

Corrine (Cookie) Levitsky

1/02/58 - 11/21/95

It has been 10 years since your tragic
death and you were taken away from us.

You are missed so terribly by Mom, sister Judy,
brother-in-law Rob, twin nephews Jacob &
Aaron and nieces Shosannah & Caitlin.

Our hearts still ache in sadness,
and secret tears still flow...what it means
to lose you...no one will ever know!

Sweet Corrine, it is terribly lonely without you!
