SO ITS NEW YEARS EVE, 6:30AM AND I CANT SLEEP. SO MANY THINGS GOING THRU MY HEAD. THESE PAST FEW DAYS, I KEEP GETTING THESE RUSHES OF OLD SCHOOL MEMORIES OF THE FIVE OF US RAISING HELL @ REFORMATION. MAN, THOSE WERE SOME CLASSIC TIMES. MOST OF ALL, THE MEMORY I AM NOW MOST GRATFUL FOR IS THE LAST ONE I HAVE OF YOU. THE NIGHT, YOU, MYSELF, CHRISTY AND BROOKE ALL SAW EACHOTHER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER. I HAD SEEN YOU FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT. WE HAD DINNER AND TALKED ABOUT THE OLD DAYS, ITS LIKE WE ALL HAD NEVER MISSED A BEAT, LIKE WE JUST PICKED UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF. I REMEMBER AFTER DINNER, YOU RODE WITH JUST ME IN MY CAR TO SECOND WIND IN NORTH PARK. WE TALKED ABOUT THINGS I THOUGHT WOULD NEVER BE SAID, I FELT SO CLOSE TO YOU, I FELT LIKE WE WERE TRUE FAMILY. SO WE GET TO THE WIND AND HAVE FEW BEERS AND KARAOKE BEGINS! WHO WOULD OF THOUGHT! YOU CAN SING! J/K AFTER ALL THE YEARS OF CHOIR WE ALL HAD, I SURE HOPED ONE US WOULD BE A ROCK STAR! WE BOTH SANG, I REMEBER WE JUST SCREAMED AND CHEERED EACHOTHER ON LIKE FANS AT A CONCERT. HUGGING EACHOTHER AND GIVING THE HI FIVES AT THE END. BESIDE THE KARAOKE, WE ALSO HADA NOTHER MISSION, YOU ASKED ME TO FIND YOU A GIRLFRIEND, A SWEET GIRL. WHAT A MISSION! I SPOTTED A GIRL, SHE JUST SO HAPPENED TO BE A FRIEND OF A FRIEND. THE SPARKLE IN YOUR EYES WHEN YOU SAW HER WAS LIKE YOU SAW AN ANGEL. YOU EXCHANGED A BIT OF CONVERSATION THEN #'S. TWO DATES, I BELIEVE WENT FROM THERE. I GUESS NOTHING SOLID, BUT YOU MADE A NEW FRIEND AT LEAST. IM GONNA MISS YOU CORY, ALL THE GOOD TIMES WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. I AM SO THANKFUL TO HAVE HAD THAT ONE LAST NIGHT WITH YOU, BROOKE AND CHRISTY, JUST LIKE OLD TIMES, BUT BETTER. YOU WERE AND WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE COUSINS, BUT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF MY FIRST BEST FRIENDS. I'VE KNOWN YOU SINCE I WAS 4. THATS A LONG TIME, 21 YEARS OF BEING FRIENDS AND THEN BECOMING FAMILY. I LOVE YOU CORY... B.JACC FOREVER (BROOKE, JAMIE, ANGIE, CHRISTY, CORY) LOVE-ANGIE aka ROACHIOS, "THE DINNER TAT'S FINALLY RIGHT!" (CORYS WORDS...)

CORY AKA "MR WIRE" . HEY BUDDY! WOW, THAT WAS SOME TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE AT YOUR MEMORIAL SERVICE YESTERDAY! ITS AMAZING HOW MUCH YOU DID IN SO LITTLE TIME.

HAHAHA

I still can't believe you are gone. You were loved so much by so many. I guess I didn't think the last time I saw you 3 years ago would be the last time ever. I am so sorry to all Cory's family. Cory was an amazing person and it is only too unfortunate that we could not enjoy his presence for more than 26 years. I'll always remember those 'Big Cheese' band rehearsals. We had a lot of fun. Cory, you will be greatly missed. Rest in peace, my friend. I love you

Good morning buddy. I am just going to write, since paragragph breaks don't work. Cory, Martin Esquivel [and others , I'm sure] have arranged a soccer tournament in YOUR HONOR. Applebee's is also having a day in your honor. I am NOT surprised with the outpouring of LOVE and AFFECTION for YOU. I am so immensely proud of you and the kind of person YOU ARE. I am, indeed, honored and blessed that YOU are MY SON. I am sure you saw the enormous gathering of caring people at your Memorial Service...people from your childhood, people from Reformation Lutheran, including Pastor Smith and his wife, Nancy, people from my work, YOUR Friends current and past whose lives you have touched and who cared about you deeply, YOUR BROTHER, whose words of LOVE and AFFECTION were so eloquently written that I hold him in awe, Lisa, Holly, Summer, Sonja, your cousin Frank Bianchinni, who came down from Orange County, my long-time friends Joe LaPlante and Mike and Mari Fink, Dahn, Shannon, Phoenix, Saige and Shea, Dot, Jerry & Mike from next door to us...My God, Cory, the list goes on and on. All that LOVE for YOU CORY. Please touch us all each and every day of our mortal lives, until we are all reunited with YOU, so that you can pass on to us that remarkable ability of LOVE AND COMPASSION. Help us all to make this a better world everyday and appreciate what each person brings positively to that day. CORY, I LOVE YOU WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING.

This is a repost but I want to get the word out to everyone that I can... Please keep Saturday January the 14th from 1pm to 4pm open. I have been given the use of the field at the Escondido Sports Center. Here is the idea, we are going to play 20 min pick up games for the three hours we have the field. All skill levels are welcome. We are going to be collecting donations for the Denton family. Guys and girls of any ability are more than welcome. The only thing you need are shoes, shin guards, socks to cover the shin guards and be ready for a good time. If you do not have a Sports Center player card, you will need to fill out a one day waiver. If you are interested, please let me know. It will be helpful to have an idea of how many players to expect. Please tell all of your friends... Brian

Cory, your brother did an amazing job yesterday. I know that you are extremely pround of him. You told me so often how much he meant to you. I hope you heard when I said as well. You know how much I hate speaking in public but I managed to blubber through it. It were an amazing person...

I feel so blessed to have been a part of Cory's life. He is such an inspiration and his memories will forever live in my heart. After hearing so many of his friends and family speak at Cory's memorial service, I am so proud to say that he was in my life. In honor of Cory Denton there will be a Soccer Tournament on Saturday, January 14th at the Escondido Sports Center. All funds raised will be presented to the Denton family. In addition to the tournament, Applebee's will also be hosting a fundraiser on January 18th. 20% of the total sales from the Oceanside, San Marcos and Escondido locations will also be presented to the Denton Family. Everyone must have a flier to participate. There will be fliers going around during the tournament, so pick one up and tell all your friends and family. We would like all of Cory's friends and family to come out enjoy a special day in honor of Cory Denton. Please feel free to email me with any questions, or if you would like me to email you the flier. mgesquivel@prodigy.net Thank you for all your support. Love to the Denton family and may God Bless you all.

Dear Denton family, I love you guys so very much. Christian, today will be a day I will never forget. You spoke with the tounge of an angel. I never realized how many people loved Cory, but what's not to love? He had the biggest heart in the world. He will be missed. Love you guys, Lisa

To Cory's family, though I only knew your son on the soccer field as a teamate. I knew quickly what a kind hearted man is was. I am just learning soccer at the age 32 and even with my lack of skill Cory would just smile at me and never get frustrated. His service was beautiful and he will be dearly missed. I am happy to know that he is truly resting in peace. Thank you!

I love you Cory. Sweet dreams my brother.
