There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I see you everywhere and miss you so much. I do have many, many wonderful memories to sustain me and am so grateful to have 26 years worth. Today marks nine years since our Lord took you, and I can't even begin to describe the emptiness I still feel because you are no longer here. The hole in my heart is huge and the pain never goes away. As our family changes, each new family event reminds me that you aren't here to share it, but I do find comfort knowing I will be with you again one day. I love you and know how much you love me.

Happy 35th Birthday, my beautiful son! I miss you more than ever and wish I could hold you and tell you how much I love you.

Happy birthday, Cory ! It's crazy that I still remember after all these years. I wish I'd known you better, but I will always think of you as one of the sweetest guys I've ever met. I moved back to SD a few years ago, and I wish you were here to hang out with. Sometimes I'll see a blue pickup truck and think of you. It's surreal that you're no longer with us, and I miss you. xo

Went out to celebrate Mandy's birthday last night. Stayed at the Lafeyette and did a north park pub crawl. You were sorely mussed and would have been the life of the party. Miss you and think of you fondly and frequently.

You were in my thoughts today Cory!!

Yesterday, Christian and I met with Coner and Katy for breakfast and met Cory (your namesake) for the first time. He is going to be a year old on 08/06 and is so cute. You would be crazy about him. Love you and miss you bunches!

We (Christian, Shannon, Phoenix, Sage, Shea, and I) went to MM the day after your birthday and had a really good time, but we did miss you terribly. Since I thought this would be my last visit to MM, as I am going to be 70 this year and the rides are getting to be too much for me, Christian and I went on Revolution first and for the last time. Since it was the first roller coaster ride you ever went on, we thought it would be kind of neat. I wish I could go one more time at Halloween though, as I would love to ride Colossus backwards like you did the Halloween before you left us. I remember you calling me right afterwards and telling me how great it was. You would have been 34 years old this past Monday and I often wonder what you would be doing if you were still here with us. Would you be married, have children, brought your dreams to fruition...? Whatever you might be doing, I know I would be just as proud of you as the day you left. I love you, Sweetheart! Happy Birthday!

I love & miss you so much! Seven years is a long time without you. I remember all the wonderful times we shared and am so grateful to have those. You live in my heart and memory.

First and foremost my condolences go out to your family. I find myself visiting your web page quite often wondering why my dear friend is gone. I found out about you leaving us in 2008 from Christi. I couldn't believe it when she told me the news. I am not sure why it took me this long to leave a message to you and your family. I guess it was just hard for me to except the fact that you are not here. I find myself questioning my faith in God for taking such a beautiful person, and why not me. You were and are my best friend and I always considered you as a brother from another mother. I was able to talk to you about anything when no one else would seem to listen. I will tell you that I will take nothing for granted anymore, and you have made me a better person to this day. I miss and love you my brother and can not wait till I see you again one day. You are always in my memories buddy.
