Happy b-lated birthday Cory! I'm thinking of you a lot this month. I ran into someone at work who knew you and was friends with you too. Small world. Happy Birthday Cory! I miss you!

On Saturday I was on my way to Oceanside Harbor to visit someone when some fun memories from your 21st birthday celebration there started flashing back. Then it occurred to me, "today is the 22nd, its Cory's birthday". I smiled because I know those memories were given to me just at that time so that I would smile on your 27th birthday thinking about you.

Today, your friends helped Christian and me get through your 27th birthday. What an amazing group of friends you have...people who care about, miss and love you so much. We BBQ'd at Melanie's & Phill's and shared a lot of stories. We also watched the video of Mandy's and Mike's wedding reception, which was on your birthday last year, and the footage of you is so wonderful to watch. I love you Cory with all my heart. Happy Birthday!

i miss you so much. i have no one to talk to about football. i dont know why writing to you like this is so hard for me. i just really wish you were here. It feel a pressure on my chest like a phantom pain. Like last year we you and i got together to start up some fantasy teams before the big live draft. No one gives a shit about fantasy football or football for that matter. I went over to richies house yesterday, and i found myself getting angry at richie for not liking football, and it hit me. i was mad at him cus he wasnt you, which wasnt really fair on my part.

thinking of you... <3

Every single day I regret not seeing you before I left California. It was literally days before you passed and the timing was completely wrong. You had to work, I couldn't stay longer. I miss you so much. Any way you could help me out with writing some of these jokes? I'll be looking out for you.

Nacho Libre screening is a go for next Thursday. Brian should have fixed details on the site here soon. In the meantime, call or email for info. cjbd35@yahoo.com 760-715-7457

Hi everybody. I am trying to put together a private screening of "Nacho Libre" at the theatre where I manage the film presentation in Escondido. As many of you may know, Cory was a huge Jack Black fan and I would like to arrange this for family and friends in his honor. Nothing is official yet, though the wheels are in motion, but if it goes as planned it will be on the evening of the 14th or 15th of June. The cost to attend will be the cost of a regular price movie ticket to cover the expense of renting a theatre for a private screening- I work there but I don't run the company... :) but if the attendance is large enough, it may cost each person less. Details will be available soon on this site- if you would like an e-flyer sent to you as soon as the details are finalized, email me at cjbd35@yahoo.com or call or text me at 760-715-7475. Please everyone mark your calendars and spread the word so that people will check here on the site for details- I really would like to see many of the people who my brother's life touched in attendance. It would mean a lot to him, I know. And it hopefully will be a very funny movie too, so we'll all have a good time. Look forward to this going as planned and seeing you all there.

I love and miss you so very much. I celebrated 26 Mother's Days with you and Christian at my side, always being the recipent of so much love from you both. Now, Christian alone is with me and there is such a void for both of us without you here. The two of you have always been the joys of my life and there isn't anything I wouldn't have done for your happiness, but I also know, without reservation, what I have always meant to you and how much you have always loved me. How blessed I am to have you both for my sons. I know if you could have been here yesterday, Mother's Day would have been just like every other day of the year, because you have always shown me how much you love me as if Mother's Day was EVERY day of the year. I am, however, remembering you waking at the crack of dawn and surprising me with a special breakfast you and Christian made and the extra chores you would do for me. Those are times I will cherish and hold close to my heart for all time. Thank you for being you. I LOVE YOU!!!
