  1. Corinne and I had only been friends for a little over a year. I was her RA during summer school last summer. We became very good friends. Over the past 3 months we became very close. Corinne will be missed by everybody who knew her here at Western. She had a passion for helping people and she was so excited about being a Nurse. I loved Corinne like the sister that I never had. We watched out over each other. We made sure the other was ok regularly. She was my guardian angel. And she will continue to be our Guardian Angel.

  2. To the Family of Corrinne Quick:

    I did not know Corrinne very well, but I did have class with her and I often spoke to her and shared notes with her.
    Corrine was a special person. She would always greet me with a smile, and would always listen to what I had to say. I respected her a lot for that. She would help me when I needed help. I am very saddened by the news of her death and you have my deepest heartfelt sympathies. I pray that the Lord our God will comfort you in your time of need.

  3. Our hearts go out to Nancy and all her family on the loss of Corinne. It is hard to accept the crossing of someone so young but know that she is still with you. We pray for your healing and strength thru this most difficult of times.
    In God’s Love,

  13. Mr.& Mrs. Quick and Travis,

    I was Corinne’s Health Occupations teacher for 2 years at TC Roberson. I was very blessed to have been a part of Corinne’s life. She met me EVERYDAY with a smile on her face and a love for nursing. She was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. Any patient she had for the day got extra love and care because she was their SPECIAL CNA. Corinne touched so many lives. I loved her and she loved me! Travis, I hope your doing well. You know you are very special to me as well. God Bless you all and you will be in my prayers.

  14. i just want you to know that i will miss corinne so much.
    she was one of my very best friends at school and we
    ddi alot together. we have done alot through the years
    and been through alot trying to get into the nursing
    program. i will always remember the good and crazy times
    we spent together. she had a heart of gold and she had
    the best personality. she always knew how to make people
    smile and lit of a room when she walked in. it is going to be
    hard without her around but i know she is watching over me.
    i am keeping the whole family in my prayers and i will keep
    corinne in my heart and always remember the best memories
    we had. i love you guys and i loved her too.

  15. Just wanted to let you know all of our thoughts are with you. I think this is a wonderful site. Knowing how much Corinne enjoyed the internet, I know she will be reading each and everyone of these herself. She will always be with us no matter where we go. We love you.

  16. I want to say how sorry I am for your loss. I met Corinne last summer at summer school and we talked and found out that we were both from Louisiana and that we had family in the same place. After that, we talked pretty much everday. I had to leave school because of migraines that I was having and even though I was gone, Corinne would always send me emails and talk to me on instant messanger when we were both online. She was my ‘cajun’ buddy and always will be. She was a great person and she will always be remembered for that. I know that she will always be looking down on us. You will be missed but never forgotten!

  17. When I see her picture I hear her laugh. She will always be in a special place in our hearts. We have a special angel looking over us now.

  18. We would like to dedicate this to that special angel Corinne in loving memory,

    ‘A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam. And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world. But then it flies on again, and though we wish it could have stayed, we feel so lucky to have seen it.’

    Goodbye to that beautiful butterfly named Corinne.

    We love and will miss you,
    Kathleen and Charles Gendusa

  19. When I think of Corinne, I am greatly saddened. Not for my loss, but for hers. She had such a bright and wonderful future. A nurse, a wife, a mother, who knew that God had this in store for her. I know we didn’t. For 16 years Corinne and I have been like sisters. We’ve been through thick and thin. My fondest memory of Corinne and most cherished possession is the video tape we made of myself, Corinne, and Dana Boudreaux. It was right before she left for North Carolina. They slept over at my house and the next day we went to my grandmother’s to go swimming. I am thankful to this day that I still have that tape. Corinne will be greatly missed and I know my sorrow is nothing compared to the even greater loss that her parents, brother, boyfriend, and family are feeling. But, I am comforted by the thought that Corinne will always be looking down on me. I know that one day I will see her again and she will be there for me when I need her most on my wedding day on May 25. I love you Corinne. =)

  20. Dear Richard, Nancy, & Travis,

    I wish that I could be there with you through these times of sorrow. My prayers are with you at all times. Always remember that I am here if you need something. May God be with you and your family. Love, Stacey

  21. Corinne is the one person that i was able to talk to about going to school to become a nurse. I admired her for her characature that she had about everything. Although she was a part of my life for such a brief time, i feel as though she was a part of me all along. We were almost the same age and wanted the same things out of life. I can remember going out to eat for lunch with her and aunt nancy,my mom, and our grandparents. It was N.O. food and spirits and to this day i think about her and her mom everyday when i pass it up going to work. I love you Corinne and hope that you continue to heal through others.

  22. When I think of Corinne a few thoughts come to mind. Going to parades together and sleeping at Courtney’s house. We always had a good time together and the laughs will be greatly missed. I know she is in a better place now and is looking down on all of us that love her so much.

  23. I only met Corinne a few times but that was all it took to know what a special person she was.I am very sory for the loss of such a wounderful life.She had a special glow about her that just made you feel good while you were around her.May you always remember what a woundrful joy she brought to so many.I send the love and prayes of the whole family.Tina Waycaster,Misty,Linda,Danny,Louise and the rest of us that had the pleaser of knowing what a wounderful person Corinne was.Our prayes, wishes and thoughts are with you all

  24. I can’t tell you how sorry we
    are for your loss. What a
    cross to bear. I know the loss
    of a parent but I can’t even
    begin to imagne the loss of a
    child.
    Thank you for everything you
    sent to us about Corrinne’s
    services, how thoughtful.
    Know that you have friends who
    care for you and wish we could
    do something to help you in
    your sorrow.
    Always remember that I think of you often and I pray for Corinne.
    I love you all
    Janet
