Rhonda Fralic (Fanning)
Brian, Sarah, Brian and family.
I am sorry to hear of your loss.
We are never prepared for the loss of a loved one, but, God is always prepared to help us through that loss.
During these times, there a often so many questions and certainly pain that is unexplainable, a void that we cannot imagine that will ever be filled, a hole deep within our hearts.
There is one thing I do know for sure from many losses in my own life, look to Him and He will carry you through the darkest of times.
My prayer for each of you is that He will provide comfort in the midst of your grief and sorrow. I pray for His love to cover you like a blanket; and,for His peace to fill your homes and your hearts. I pray for His strength for each of you, not only as you gather to celebrate the life of Corrine, but, also in the days that follow. May this time draw you all closer together.
Love and prayers,
Rhonda Fralic-Fanning

To Brian and all of Corinne’s family: I am shocked and saddened to read of Corinne’s passing. In 1958 when Center Consolidated opened we were in the same class and became friends. Corinne always looked at the positive side and was always going out for sports. Everyone who knew the Balcome girls in school could name each one even if you didn’t know them because of the rhyming names. The last time we laughed together was in 2008 at the 50th anniversary of Center Consolidated opening.
Deepest sympathy to Corinne’s family at the difficult time.
Wilford & Janetta Smith , family
Our thoughts are with you and the family at this sad time .
Duncan & Goretti Mac Isaac
Dear Everett Family;
We first met Corrine through her children at school. A more cheerful and dedicated volunteer and mother you could not find. On her own, or when asked for help, things were done pleasantly, efficiently and with that mischievous glint in her eye. Just a beautiful person. Family was Corrine’s life.
Please accept our sincere condolences and know that Corrine is at rest in the care of our Lord.

To the family of Corrine. I was a school mate of Corrines and we did high jumping together for Centre Consolidated. She was always happy and ready to help you in any way that she could. She was our “western roller” in jumping and I always wished that I could the same. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I thought of her often and was so happy to see her at our last school reunion. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad and difficult time for all of you.
