Cory! I don't know if it's still 25 Dec. in CA, but I wanted to wish you a very Happy Christmas. I am in India right now, and I can't help but be reminded of a few years ago when I was here, and I thought of you every single day I was gone, and I couldn't wait to see you again when I came back to CA. And when I did --- you told me that you had been wearing that Perfect Strangers shirt I'd made you and that you put me on the Oregon Trail with you, and that is, to this day, one of the sweetest things a guy has ever told me. (Is that lame??) I really miss saying stupid things just to make you smile --- because you always made me smile. MISS YOU. xxoo

Merry Christmas Cory. I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU more than you'll ever know. I can't wait to see you.

Not the same without you yesterday.

so, the chargers clinched their division today! i miss watching football with you on your oversized tv on the giant blue couch. i miss your enthusiasm and your love.

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! :)
