Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryCORINNE WESTBERG June 11, 1937 - May 28, 2008 For Corinne, Laughter that beckoned we chuckle along, Eyes that danced with sparkling light, Hands that played our favourite songs, Fingers that sewed our warmest nights. Wisdom that noticed the best in life, Kindness that wound all dear ones close, Strength that stood up proud through strife, Love that's always missed the most. Deeply missed and lovingly remembered by your husband, family, and friends.

I took the Bishop Sewing Classes with Corinne (1974-76) and from the first class, I knew I wanted to teach the course, and to teach like Corinne. She encouraged me from the start. In early 1976, when she needed surgery, and I needed teaching experience, she asked me to take her class for a few weeks. I was deeply honoured. I went on to teach for several years, learning to enjoy sewing more all the time. Better still, I made many friends. To this day, I use what I learned from Corinne, and my sewing is the better for it. And, the friends I've made though class contacts are still a delight. I am so glad I finally found my little certificate, because just recently I realized I wanted to give Corinne tribute. I am sorry to hear that she passed away; sorry I took so long to think of this. Please be encouraged that your beloved Corinne enriched my life in ways I did not even comprehend at the time, but for which I am so grateful now that I am older. May your memories continue strong, and may God grant you all you need to carry forward the wonderful ways He blessed us through Corinne. - Posted by: Pat Gerbrandt (sewing student; later, co-teacher of Bishop sewing) on: Jun 09, 2012
