She was also a vibrant person with a great sense of humor. She looked forward to family visits, just waiting to drag you through many "antique" shops - touching everything - sometimes buying - sometimes not. She never met a card game she didn't like and she was always up for a game. Corliss loved music - country and gospel music mostly - and she spent hours at her computer burning tracks for friends and family.
