Cory's Mom: Everyone out here is thinking about you and sending our love and prayers. I would like to thank you for giving life and raising Cory Denton. He is truly amazing and I feel blessed to have his friendship. Cory taught me a lot about being a good child to a Mom. I watched him call you every morning on his ten minute break. I know Cory would have over bought all the all the pretty stuff at Starbucks for you. I love him very much and I know how much he loves you. Thank you for being a Mom. Thank you for being Cory and Christian's Mom.

Went to get cat food from the store this morning and "Passenger Seat" was playing on the radio. Nice to hear from you. Love.

Hey there bud, I have been thinking about you a lot these past few days. With the NFL draft today, I know that we would have been together drinking, talking mad shit to Big T about his lack of social grace and general body odor along with all of the crappy picks. You should be proud, Coner got the Packers and Chargers pick right before the draft started. I know that I have not posted on here in a long time, do not believe that I have forgotten about you. You are in my heart and mind forever pal.

Cory. Hey buddy. We gave it our best shot tonight in the playoffs, but freakin' Manny hosed us on some calls and we lost, but it was close. Classic Manny. We all woulda had a good laugh about it. He was even hugging the other team's keeper. Jeez... Any way. I really miss you. We definitely could've used you out there tonight. Next season friend...Looking forward to the day we get to hang out again.

listening to david gray and you are on my heart so much. thanks for everything you taught me, with and without knowing.

Though they sink through the sea, They shall rise again. Although lovers be lost, Love shall not; And death shall have no dominion. They shall grow not old, As we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them Nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, And in the morning, We will remember them.

the day that you had to leave-- i learned how much we needed you to stay-- the night that i tried to dream --that it had all been a dream was a night that i woke-- to realize time has no bounds--and all of our time is everything now

All day today I have been reminded of the many, many April Fool's Day jokes you have played on me...how I miss your mischievous ways. I love you, Cory, and want so much to be able to hold you, to tell you again how very proud I have always been to have you as my son. I can never convey in words what your loss has done to me, but I am completely lost without you. My days are filled with pretense: I can't function, and I pretend that everything is all right, but on the inside, I am in agonizing pain. I want so much to know why. WHY? Why were you taken from me? You are needed here by so many. I LOVE YOU!

I am also one of corys friends that comes on here each day, reading what others have to say, wishing I could find my own words to tell you, but nothing seems to sound right. Last night I had this dream with you, Cory, in it, I knew the second that I saw you that it was a dream. Any other night I would of woke up at that very moment, not being able to stay in my dream, knowing its a dream, lucky that wasnt the case last night, I was able to stay and have a moment with you, so amazing! We were standing near a gas station, just hanging out, I told you how much I missed you, I told you how much I think about you and how very much I love you! You didnt say much back that I can remember you just sent me this internal feeling, letting me know that everything is going to be ok. You said goodbye and waved to me, though you walked away slowly, I couldnt seem to run after you or reach you. I am still feeling very emotional about this dream, I really like the feeling that I had a chance to see you last night, see that beatiful smile across your face, that was nice. Cory, you will always have a place in my heart, cant wait to see yo again!

Here's to seeing you. Here's to seeing you in heaven. Here's to seeing you when I wake up and brush my teeth. Here's to seeing you when I drive to work. Here's to seeing you when I listen to death cab, postal service,weakerthans, nada surf, anything and everthing. Here's to seeing you when I look over at the barista bar at 5 o'clock in the morning. Here's to seeing you in the backroom where you counted out your till, hung up your till tags, smiled and ate your burritos or fast-food, talked to me. Here's to seeing you at the apt, at the party, at the concert, driving down the road in your new car, dammit! Here's to seeing you when we are alone when we miss you, when we are together when we miss you. Here's to seeing your smile when we miss you in our daily lives in our present and future. At graduation parties, weddings, house warming parties, halloween, and work. Here's to seeing you when we feel a huge part of "us" missing, a hole in myself. Here's to seeing you when realizing what a big part of us you were. Here's to seeing you when I realize the missing you has been replaced with a different you. A you that I see out of the corner of my eye, when I am driving past apt 9, when I making a latte, when I drive down the coast and look at the beautiful sunset. I carry you with me always. I get to show you the apt, the stupid latte, beautiful sunset, the look of relief on Melanie's face when she passed her last class, Maryanne drinking your hop-skip-and-go-naked and talking with her hands, Phill and Melanie's new house, Mandy and Dan moving in with Dan, Dan and Conor leaving for tour, Cleary's girlfriend, Lindsey's cards, the list continues. I keep you with me, where I can protect you and talk to you and hold onto you. So tight. With all of my might. Here's to seeing you again, but here is to seeing you everyday. I love you Cory. I love your beautiful smile and how much fun you were and how funny you were. I love what an amazing friend you were to me and everyone you knew. I love your passion for music, movies, sports, halloween and stuff.
