Love, Life, Marriage….our Gift

May 29, 2010 marks our special beginning as we joined our hands in marriage and celebrated with our family and friends.  Both Shane and I have sisters that have battled the challenges of breast cancer with resilience and spirit.  Their love of life, joy of giving, and strength and perseverance has impacted us as well as everyone they touch in their daily lives.  We thank our families and friends that have been so gracious with their donations to the Susan Komen Fund New Orleans in lieu of gifts.  Our beautiful wedding was full of life and vibrancy memorable with our ivory roses and splashes of pink commemorating The Susan Komen mission.

Sincerely,

Shane and Ina Corley

Words cannot express enough thanks to Shane and Ina Corley for their generosity. They donated over $3200 to Susan G. Komen which was in lieu of gifts at their recent wedding.

Thank you from the Susan G. Komen New Orleans Affiliate.
