I have so many memories of Korrey from our childhood. I remember how when she was little she couldn't say my name and she called me "Elna" . Her entire family called me Elna for years. I loved being called that! I also remember her mother telling me the story of how when Kaycee was really small, she prayed every night for a baby sister. Kaycee was so excited when her prayers were answered. I can remember being mean to Korrey and when Kaycee and I would slam the bedroom door in her face. She would cry "please let me in, I want to play with Elna!" I remember letting her play with us, it would make her so happy. We would dress her up like a princess, we would pretend to be teachers and teach her, we would play like we were orphans and we had to take care of our baby sister. Her face lit up when we would let her play. I am honored to say that she reguarded me as a role model.(poor girl)
I also have fond adult memories of Korrey as well. When my first born son passed away shortly after his birth, she was heartbroken for me. She sent me the sweetest most caring e-mail . It meant so much that she still loved me so much after all those years. That's the kind of person she was. Once she loved you, it was for life.
I know now that Korrey is at peace. She is with her sweet mother, Lynn for eternity now. Rest in peace Korrey Lynn Hudspeth.
Love,
Ellen (Elna)
