Hi 👋, I'm Paige, the creator of TheCorteseStory.com.
My full name is Paige Kathryn Cortese, daughter of Bob & Anna Cortese and granddaughter of John & Kitty Cortese.
My grandma Kitty loved her family and never threw a thing away. She had generations of keepsakes that she held onto her whole life. I remember going through all of them with my grandma and grandpa and listening to the stories and the memories they told.
After losing both Grandparents in 2020 (not covid related), followed by my Uncle Michael Cortese in December 2022. Leaving my Dad the last one in his immediate family. This motivated me to not let our story be forgotten. Thankfully Grandma left behind generations of keepsakes, photos and memories. 😀
I’m pretty happy with TheCorteseStory.com. Not only is that a spot that I can store and share my family’s keepsakes, but everyone on our family can add to the site as well.
Creating a furshing living digital family tree. 🌳
I’m excited to watch it grow. 😀
Paige, your grandparents would be so proud of what you have done here. They would have enjoyed following along. Well, Kitty would have. John was not too technical on the computer. 😊 I know they are looking down on all of us and wishing us well. ❤️
