Dear Friends:
Corinne Barba's fight with lupus ended this morning when she passed away at the age of 22 at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio.
Our sport creates extended families; I have always believed that. It's not just parents, coaches and athletes, but all of the managers, Mat-Aides, cheerleaders and all of their parents as well. You don't spend all of those long Saturday tournaments together without becoming close. Corinne Barba was a part of that family at Immaculata.
Even after she graduated from Imac, she still returned for practices and camps, made it to many events, and even pitched in keeping the scorebook a few times. She will be missed by her family, her friends and all of us whose lives she touched for all too brief a time.
Farewell Queen Corinne...
Sincerely,
Jeff Holmes
