I worked for Corliss when she was needing to have someone look after Derek and Devin when they were small. I think they lived out on Sheppard Street? I remember what a lovely soft spoken woman she was and how much she loved her boys. I know she is smiling down on them, knowing that she left much love and caring behind her and went on to something greater. - Posted by: Cheryl Panisiak (babysitter) on: Nov 05, 2012

Corliss had a beautiful and gentle soul. She handled all life's tribulations with dignity and great strength of character. I am so fortunate to have known her in my life. Condolences to Gordie and all her family. - Posted by: Margaret Bushie (Friend) on: Nov 05, 2012
