    Rev. Corn will be missed. He was a very special person who loved the Lord. He was a friend to my parents, Rev. Richard Morgan and Margie Bradley Morgan. I remember as a child going and hearing him preach. My prayers are with the family. May you find comfort knowing that he is in heaven and we will see him again.
