Corrado from Locale was an incredible Noosan, and everyone he touched with his warmth, love of all and laughter are blessed from having known him ๐ His service overflowed the chapels into the gardens and carpark, and to his parents Amanda and Rio, sisters Ellie and Claudia, and his very extended family, may that overflow of love bring some comfort where words cannot ๐![]()
