Hi my son. I am not going to mention what day this is...we all too strongly know. I just want you to know how much I LOVE and MISS you. I would give anything, my legs or myself, if you could be here this Christmas with your gigantic smile and unrestrained enthusiasm. Your mother, brother and I would be so filled with joy and happiness. I hope you are doing well and think about us as much as we think about you. Cory, I've got to stop because something is coming on...it just makes it so damn difficult. I LOVE YOU and I will FOREVER. Take care of yourself and everyone around you. Merry Christmas with much, much, much LOVE.

If anyone would like to leave flowers or anything at all for Cory today, or any day, we will be leaving them in front of the big tree that faces the back of the players dugout of the soccer field at Kit Carson Park in Escondido.

Dear Uncle Cory- I love you. I think you are the best uncle, and Christian, are the best uncles. I miss you and love you very much. Love, Sage

Hey dude. Miss you a lot today. Wish I had more time to write, but Sage and I are about to take Sam for a walk, and then we are all going to go see Alvin and the Chipmunks later. We will be at Kit Carson later. Hope you are there.

Corn Dogg, You've been in my thoughts much the passed few weeks and now, especially today. I can't believe its been two years since you left us. I came across many emails we sent eachother daily last month, it put such a smile on my face. You were such a goofball! So many silly inside jokes we had those few months together. I've been sick the passed week, and thought about how you took care of me that entire month of February...I w ish you were here to bring me some sherbert, I can't eat that now without thinking of you. You were so caring and thoughtful, always. Anyways, I went to our high school reunion in September. I am pretty sure you would have hated it and at the very least taken great pleasure in mocking the awkwardness of it all. A lot of people grew fat and bald...you would have liked that. I know it. I missed you that night, I think you would have been agreat companion and would have sought out karaoke or something ridiculous for the evening. I am going to hike Baldy in a few days. I hiked it the day I heard you passed, it was a beautiful day. I think of you when hike there all the time. Thanks for the memories, Cory. Miss you. Jill

Cory, I thought about you all the time I was living in London -- if you had been living there too, I would have had so much more fun. Even though you weren't there, you are always with me. I miss you enormous amounts. xoxo ps :: My first feature film will be dedicated to you! :)

I was looking at pictures the other day of all the many Halloween costumes you put together thoughout the years: What wonderful memories! I am remembering all the ghoulish masks you and I made together using gelatin and liquid foundation...your ideas and exciement were infectious! I miss those times, Cory, and wonder what brilliant costume you would have come up with this year. I am sure it would have been the best yet. I miss you more every day.

I really miss you Cory, you still touch my life on a daily basis! I'm happy to know that you are up there looking down on us, that makes me smile!!!! Peace and Love Always~Becky

Hi Sweetheart! I just learned today that Jamai is expecting another baby. I know how excited you would be for her and Robert. I remember when we went together to see Landon and you held him for the first time (shown in the pics here). It was such a wonderful day and is a beautiful memory. I wish you could be here to hold their new baby. I love you, as I always have, and miss you terribly.

Hi Cory, I come to your site often and never seem to be able to write anything. Funny, I just saw that Chris wrote to you yesterday about he and Carrie having a baby (girl) in November. I was going to tell you that, as if you didn't already know that. What will Chris do with a daughter? I know one thing for sure,her first pair of shoes will be soccer cleats. I think about you and what a wonderful son and friend you were. No wonder God wanted you back with Him. You are loved and missed every day!
