How does one even pick 1 memory. Corinne, you left a lasting memory on everyone one you met. I was the lucky one who had you as a role model of strength and perseverance through whatever life throws at you. I will forever treasure the Lewis jokes, your infectious laugh, your bright smile and your love for family and friends. I will treasure your giving Gianna her first nickname, “lil’ chin”, coming to my baby shower dressed as a geisha with all the ingredients to make Gianna her first home cooked meal, the memes we exchanged on text & facebook, and every moment I spent with you in the hospital cracking jokes. Rest peacefully & haunt hysterically. I love you forever.
I remember when Kirk and Corinne were about four to six years old. They use to run over to me and say “oui mesieur; bop bop” (while hitting themselves on the head). Then they would both run off laughing! We had lots of laughs with that. Rest my beautiful cousin!
I’m afraid I don’t have the time nor emotion to think of all the crazy times we had living with my sister in all our lives. Drama…yes…Laughter…Hell yea…tears?..yes, those too. But she made all our lives fuller and better because she was in it with us. On the one hand, pulling the ladder away from her on Birch Street when she was on the roof “might” have been a reaction to her throwing a dart in my head “accidently” she says on Anne Drive- but it was things like this that brought us closer as the years went by. Not having my sister will be a void in my life that can’t be filled- so I’ll learn to live with that hole. Calling her to see how’s she’s feeling or visiting her in hospitals or rehab centers were not fun trips yet she always showed more strength than any of us who visited and I believe deeply she fought to her very last breathe to say goodbye to her Mom. Life, spirit, laughter, mischievous, love, friendship…there are so many adjectives to describe Corinne. I am very lucky to have had the pleasure of sharing 57 years of my life with a little sister who I would always do anything for and would always try to take care of…and now she’s in God’s hand who will now take over. I will love her always until we see each other again.
Fun memory………………
Corinne and I were the two go-to promotion people for the old Beverly Times way back when, and I remember vividly she and I riding the elephants in the COLE BROTHERS-CLYDE BEATTY circus at the old United shoe parking lot in Beverly to open their show, as nobody else would do it! Rest in peace Corinne.

I am so not good at this, but I will try. I always thought of Corinne as the “sparkle” in the Lewis family. She definitely had the keen sense of humor passed down from her grandfather. She also had the warmest and most sincere smile of anyone I knew. She looked you right in the eye and her smile was contagious. Corinne was always 100%. She loved 100%, she cared about people 100%, and helped when ever she could; 100%. I find peace in the fact that I know Corinne knew she was loved. She lived her life with courage and positivity and handled her illness the same way. You will be sorely missed my beautiful niece, but you live on through your girls and your grandchildren. Rest in Peace.
