Hey bro- well its been three years and Im not any happier about you being gone- had to deal with some other folks leavin too, before their time like you- another one this week actually- anyway, just sittin here waitin for mom to come over so we can get through the day together- ill talk to you more later.

I am remembering our last Thanksgiving, three years ago, as if it were yesterday. I remember standing in the front yard of Trish's house talking for about an hour before we headed home in our separate cars, and then you called me on my cell, while we were both driving, and we talked for the next half hour. We always had so much to talk about and share. I miss your phone calls and our conversations. You were so full of life and I still don't understand why you had to go. The pain of not having you near is intense and I don't believe it will ever go away. I still cry everyday, missing you more than I can say. I love you!

Woke up today and the words " I need you so much closer" would not stop repeating in my head. I am sitting here in my towel in front of the computer listening to that song crying my eyes out. I love you so much Cory, so so much! Need to head to work now, back to retail- not the same as the mall working with you, could never be the same. Miss you!! XOXOXOX kt

Today is Christian's birthday and it isn't the same without you here. I want so much to hear your voice filled with excitement about your costume for a Halloween party you would be attending this Friday. I can remember each and every one you came up with over the years - some better than others - but each one was ALWAYS the best around. I miss your imagination. I love you, Cory, with all my heart.

im really pissed off at you right now. i have serious ideas and thoughts about music and movies and ridiculous things that come with life and the friggin chargers, etc. that i'd love to share with you and ONLY YOU! and you only could appreciate. and now i m hear blogging on your site, cuz its it is all we have. but i am thankful for it. im mad at you right now!! ...kinda... ;) ps. i never drink newcastle anymore...never. newcastle is cory.

I worked with Cory at Applebees and from the first lunch we spent together I knew he was special. It sounds so corny since I didn't really know him as well as most of you that write on this page do but I always felt like I did know him. He was so smart, funny and just a good person. I think about him all the time and I am so sorry for everyone's loss and for the void that is left behind. I miss you Cory.

Just wanted to say I've been thinking of you lately. I was going through some old pictures of everyone at apt 6 and apt 9. So many good memories. Miss you..

i miss you a bunch, the other night i dreamt you were alive. It was tangible. I think about you everyday. oh and so far you owe me about $75 for all the newcastle ive been buying you.....i went to freebirds the other day and they had a super monster burrito. It was about 5" across and 2' long. it made me laugh, cus i know you would've gotten me to bet you that you couldnt eat it in one sitting, and i would, but stipulate that you could not throw up afterword. You would eat that bitch, gloat for a few mins, id hand you the cash, you'd puke and hand it right back. i seriously play out one of these scenarios in my head all the time. people think im crazy cus i'll just be standing, chuckling to myself. Come to think of it, it's probably not that healthy. I love you and miss you.

Your birthday is almost over. Christian and I spent the day together remembering so many wonderful things about you that made us so very happy. We watched some of your favorite movies and laughed. I love and miss you sweetheart and wish so much I could put my arms around you and tell you Happy 29th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Cory. Love you. Think about you everyday.
