As I am in Glenview, IL now, the two of us would be going to theater together, planning, plotting fun adventures and relaying stories of our children and grandchildren. Oh how I miss my best friend of so many years! Jeanne Baxter

When I was a young mother, my family joined Congregation Solel, of which Corrine was the President. From her strength and wisdom I learned a great deal. After my family moved to California, Corrine and I got together periodically, which was always a pleasure. I continued to learn from her and delight in her over the years. The world has lost a wise and wonderful soul.

So sorry to hear of Corrine's passing. She was such a strong woman who gave her all to her family, her profession, her friends, and her community. I knew her from Congregation Solel where she is fondly remembered and appreciated.
