Mom I know you are at peace in your new home the home we all aspire to get to, Thomas left a big whole in all of our hearts but I know where he is and that´s with you Daddy and of course Jesus who I can´t wait to meet. Mom I needed you so much this last month but I know you were with me. You know it´s strange there is another limb from our tree that is missing. You raised us to be close always look out for one another and I do believe we´ve accomplished that. But my goodness Mom you would be so proud of your grandchildren who now takes care of us. They are really something else. Daddy you who was always my hero would throw your chest out at these kids. They are a chip off the old block. From the oldest to the youngest.
But Daddy the boys need a little help. They are hurting right now with Thomas leaving to be with the Lord. Please Dad give them your strength help them get through this. Willie is broken and Kenneth is lost. I can´t have that Daddy I need my brothers. I have so many wonderful stories of my brother Thomas. He was one of the best men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and proud to say he was my brother. He got tired daddy and needed to go home. I can only pray that everything I´ve read in the only book that´s important is when the Lord says we will all be together again. I´m am a believer.
You are missed every day of what´s left of my life. Mom it goes without saying that the crack in my heart the day you left has never been mended. You were my everything but Mom I need a little help again so please stay close to me so I can help others. I´m feeling things that are very strange to me. I need your strength and wisdom to get through this.
I love and miss you all more than I could ever express. You know my heart. I´m missing you all so much more than I can handle right now. Keep a hand on Eileen and guide her Mom.
I´ll sign off for now until we are together again I love you.

Good Morning,
Not sure what´s going on but I know I have posted in the last year and nothing on here.
I sit here it´s still Dark out, 6:00 am been at work for over an hour. Well you know, there is a moment in my day that you are both not in my thoughts and prayers.
By know I hope that Uncle Tom is safely in your arms and free of Ailments. With his Giant Smile and pronounced presence.
Gram I´m going to approach the next few days, how you taught us to.
Regardless of how upset and Disgusted I am with so much of this.
There is a Guilt that has been laying on me for months, I feel like I should have gone to see Uncle Tom more and sat with him.
I think I avoided it because deep down I knew that when I went to see him it would be the Last Time. It´s Unfortunate that the thought was right. So Happy that the lord heard my Prayers and Allowed him to bounce back a bit so that His Brothers and Sisters can have on last positive moment. Equally Happy that he has heard my prayers and Took Uncle Tom back to you both and out of pain.
So many great Memories that I cannot help but feel that Pit in my stomach once again of emptiness.
My Pal I know you and Uncle Tom Were sitting up there last night watching Opening day for the Yankees. Fitting they opened the season with a win for you Big Guy. I could just imagine what you were both saying when the Score was 4-0 Astros
Well I am Closing in on 4 years since my injury, that basically Derailed the course of my adult life. It is a Weekly struggle and we are Buried in Dept but I´m leaning on Faith Hard work and Prayers daily to pull me through.
I am a Firm Believer that the good lord put Danielle in my path 27 years ago for this reason. My Special Girl, who continues to come through when I need her most.
As you know it got Very Dark for me and my Thoughts wavered from positivity. At the final moments I just couldn´t Quit on myself and My Girls. Thank you both for the signs in those moments that help pull
Me through.
Please watch over your Sons and Daughters and ALL your Grandchildren over these next few days.
Sunday is Easter, I will be by to see you as always.
Pal Please Give Uncle Tom a Firm Hand Shake and Knee squeeze for me. Tell Kelly to save a Dance for me
I Love and Miss you more then yesterday but much less then tomorrow.
My Eternal Love

Hey Gramp,
It has been 15 years since you left us and to say you are missed is an understatement. I need you and grandma to look after my father more than ever as you know he´s going through so much. Love and miss you and Grandma. Rest Easy. Until we meet again.

Hey Guys
I know it´s been a few since I wrote to you here, Although I don´t see my last entry.
Happy Easter to you Both.
Gram Thank you for my Sign today as I stopped to buy you your Flowers I looked down on Counter and There was Mini Hershey Bars staring me in the Face. Needless to say I grabbed one, I left it for you with the Flowers hope you enjoy. Thank you for my wind Kiss as always when I kneel before you and Pray.
My Pal what can I see, I am convinced it will never get easy missing you both.
Man did I expect a much different year and got the complete opposite. I should be writing this from our home in South Carolina but unfortunately that didn´t happen yet as you know.
Fighting this mental Battle of Failure Everyday, hopefully there is some light on the horizon.
Not sure how much longer I can Hang on with this weekly Struggle.
Working as much as I possibly can and Still The Girls have no idea how bad it actually is.
It is Breaking me daily that I had to postpone Kendyl Sweet 16, I promised her it will happen and it WILL Happen. Just need to figure it out, It´s Hard having nowhere to turn.
I just Can´t Ask for Help, God Forbid I did and was rejected It would Definitely Break me for Good.
Hopefully this case Ends within a few months, I need to Breathe and just keep moving forward
I Pray Hard to God that he continues to walk me through these storms and keeps me healthy and strong to provide for my Family and keeping my household.
Enough of my Whining, I hope you are proud of me as a Man and Father. I try really Hard to uphold the legacy left for me.
The girls are doing great in the Classroom and On the field Together. It is Lacrosse season now Kendyl and Makenna Play JV Together. makenna has an Assist to her Big Sister for one of her Goals this season and she has 5 Goals of her own in their Games.
The pride they give me and Danielle is immeasurable. They earn everything, That´s how they have been taught. NO Handouts or Short Cuts, Work for it.
I know you are up there watching and Telling everyone look at My Granddaughters.
I miss you both so much.
I love you more Today then Yesterday but Much Less then tomorrow
I love you for Eternity
Happy Easter
Love Kenneth

Hey Guys
Good morning, well today marks 13 years since we laid down your eternal Rest Pal.
Today as we speak My little Girl is on the operating Table in the Hands of her Surgeons to repair a Badly Fractured Humerus In her left arm.
To say this is hard is an understatement, it is almost Unbearable for me. The pain I feel is immeasurable at this point.
I have prayed and Prayed, I know turn to you Gram. Please tell me I will be ok, Please lay my head on your Lap and Tell me it will be OK.
I know you are watching over us at all times, so as always I am safe in your presence
I will lean on my Faith to give me the strength to get through these next couple of hours.
I miss you both more then ever.
Gram as Always Save a Dance for Me until we meet again.
PAL I need you today more then ever. Ty for the sign, I feel better now
I miss you more today then yesterday but much less then tomorrow
Rest Easy

Hey Guys
Today JUNE 7th, wanted to stop by and Wish My Pal a HAPPY 103rd BIRTHDAY.
Man this roller coaster ride has been nothing short of brutal. Between the Fall, Covid and nearly going Broke we made it through.
Today is a day I sit back and Think of all our Great Memories and the Amazing Days we all shared together.
It will never be the same but I try and Keep you legacy Strong.
Well Pal, keep watching over us all. I hope you and Gram are Proud of me and what I have become.
My Faith and Family carried me through my Darkest Times and Deepest waters.
I hope you and Gram are Dancing and singing in the Clouds and Celebrating your birthday today.
Gram as always Save me a Dance.
My PAL give gram a kiss for me.
I miss and Love you more then yesterday but Much less then tomorrow.
Happy Birthday Marine, Rest Easy Pal

21 Years ago the call came that changed my life forever leaving a Gapping Hole in my heart that can never be filled.
1 year ago Today, I went from everyone´s Hero to a Bum with one bad step on a job site. When the Smoke cleared and I realized how bad it could have actually Been. I prayed hard and Thanked our Good Lord for Saving me yet again.
Although I walked away it was u certain of how bad my injuries were and if I would ever fully be able to use my right hand again. Add COVID and the rest they say is History.
Having NO thought of how bad it would get, I continued to lean on my faith more then ever.
You see as you know the Good Lord has Blessed me with the Strongest Wife and Partner and the 2 Greatest Daughters a Dad could ask for.
As you know, I went to some Dark places in my mind over this last year, feeling Rejected and Useless I battled to keep my head above the flood waters.
At the end of the Day, I thought of my Pal and Heard your Voices.
I felt you many times rubbing my head Gram and Telling me you will be OK. It was those time the Darkness parted and the light although dull began to emerge.
I thought of my PAL and My Name and Fought with all I had. Picked myself up off the canvas and BATTLED the Demons and the Self Doubt.
It´s always easy to run and Quit. Fortunately that´s Not in my DNA and Even more Fortunate I have Danielle and The Girls.
The girls all the while had NO idea how hard it was, they had No idea how badly I felt about feeling inadequate and not being able to do what I have done for 13 years prior to my Fall.
Aunt Corinne has seen it in my eyes and as always gently tells me to Pray and that´s just what I do.
Mom Dad and Matt came through the COVID as well and are doing well. The time is coming quickly we´re major decisions will be made for Us and Them that will once again Change our lives hopefully for the better forever.
Honestly all it took to pull me from the darkness was a Strong Hug and Shoulder of Danielle to lay my head on and Cry like a baby. Same way I did on your lap many times.
The Dark clouds started to go away and the Lords light started to shine brighter.
Although we are on the verge of being Flat Broke, We will survive and battle through.
It is said the Lord gives his Toughest Battles to his Greatest warriors. Well that is true because there is NO Chance this Warrior will quit and allow complete failure.
I am a CORCORAN, Willie and Mona 1st Grandson and Kenny and Rosanna 1st Son. I cannot And Will NOT fail or feel sorry for myself anymore.
I hope I have made you both proud of me.
My Pal give Gram a Kiss and Hug from Me. Gram save me a dance until we meet in the clouds.
I love you more then yesterday but Much less than Tomorrow.
My Eternal Love

Merry Christmas Guys
I’m sorry I couldn’t leave you flowers today when I came to visit.
Unfortunately with this Virus and Being Positive I couldn’t stop at Florist as I would always do.
This has got to be the worst year Possible with this ending ruining Christmas and the holidays.
Gram While I was kneeling down praying over you both today. Once again you sent me the breeze and wind to let me know I am safe. I long for your Caring touch and you telling me everything will be ok. Every time I feel that breeze kiss my face I feel safe again.
My Pal, I will lean on my teachings and NOT Break me. “Never be Afraid to Take a Beating”. Well this year has Beaten me pretty good. No chance I’m staying Down, I have to much on the line.
Although I’m a little scared dealing with this virus and what it could bring. I also know that My Faith will carry me through this Storm as well.
Running out of money and Battling to stay just above the flood. I will come through, I miss you both terribly.
Please continue to watch over us all.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
As always Gram Save a Dance for me, Pal give her a kiss for me.
I miss you more Today Then Yesterday but Much Less then tomorrow
I love you both more then you will ever know.
I love you for eternity

Good morning
Well as you know, I have been having a tough Go as of late. Since the fall I feel like I have gone from everyone’s Hero to a Bum.
All I can do is pray and lean on the lord for guidance. The Girls are the only thing keeping me on a positive track
The world is a crazy place Right now. Took a little escape to the woods for some hunting. This year Johnny Boy with us, having a good time.
Well as always I’ll come see you guys on thanksgiving. Please continue to watch over all of us.
Give Gram a big hug and Kiss for me. Tell her to save me a dance.
I love and miss you both dearly

Good morning,
Well once again, I look through the post and notice one or two of my post have not been uploaded.
Today is an extremely emotional day for me. I am so humbled and Blessed by all the support and Compliments our Family and our Name has been receiving.
There was a Time that people would have thought that I would be on Channel 4 News for much different reasons.
I weathered the Storm and feel as If I have done the Best I can. You know I could care less about being recognized for what I feel is just doing my Job as a Dad.
The Long hours and Lack of Sleep is normal for us as Corcoran Men. Today the Corcoran Name will be Highlighted for the World to See. Willie and Mona Corcorans Grandkids will be a Story for the world to see.
All I did was set out to be like my Heros. My Pal My Dad My Mom. All I wanted to do was make everyone proud of the One Time Special Ed screw up who was never going to Accomplish anything.
Hell for a while I was proving everyone who thought that right.
TodAy once Again THE CORCORAN name will stand tall, Chest out and Strong.
All I set out to do was be a Good Dad to my Girls a Good Husband to my Wife a Good Son Brother Nephew Cousin Friend and Mentor to Children who may have needed that.
I am the Son Of Kenny and Rosanna Corcoran and The Grandson of Willie and Mona.
I hope you get a seat in front of the TV Today around 920 Channel 4 NBC.
Im Not a Screw up NO MORE PAL. Thank you for leaving a Legacy for me to Protect. Thank you for Always being My Biggest Fan and being my Safe Place.
The only thing that drives me when I have nothing left are those 2 Little Girls that call me Daddy.
I love you more then you will ever know.
As always Pal Give your girl a Kiss for me as you dance in the Clouds.
Gram Please save a Dance for me, until we meet again
I miss you more Today then Yesterday but much less then tomorrow
My Eternal Love

I cannot believe it has been 11 years since you left us. We miss you very much. I know you were not perfect by any means but you did your best later on in your life and were a great Grandfather to us. Your work ethic and toughness was passed down to all of us. I hope you are looking over us proudly and guiding us through life. As you know there has been way too many bumps in the road. Continue too look over us with Grandma until we meet again.
Love You Gramp,

Hey Guys,
Been thinking about you both an awful lot lately. Everything is changing, Kids are growing way to fast.
I had a picture pop up the other day of me holding Johnny at the Yankees game. He is Now 23 and a Man, Margaret is in Disney on her first trip as a young lady. Bridget is a Hard working Beautiful young lady with the world at her fingertips. Patrick well he is 6+ Feet and growing like a weed.
Kendyl breaks my heart every time I look at her, she is no longer my little baby girl closing in on 12 years old. So big and Beautiful, she is such a kind caring young lady. Makenna is almost 10 such a great kid, Hard worker with a FIERCE Competitive side. Not sure where that comes from. they make Danielle and I proud daily, we get so many compliments on how respectful and caring they both are. I try to tell Danielle, if they act up in our home and do what right on the Street and in the Classroom, then we are doing a great job.
Matt is slowly getting better with his back, hopefully the latest turn will be good for him and he will be able to keep getting better.
Mom and Dad are as good as can be expected, I try as hard as I can to help them with what I can. 3 Jobs and Coaching makes it very difficult to find time to do anything.
As you know I had a quick little hospital visit. Thankfully God was watching and it was nothing more then another Diverticulosis attack. Some Follow Ups needed but I will be Good. CORCORAN STRONG
Well I was finally able to go and stop by the house and sit with Aunt Cor, as you know the house was sold and it is almost time for her to finish with the closing. It was nice to just sit and talk for a couple of hours. It has been SO Hard for me but I know its way harder on Aunt Cor. SO MUCH LOVE and GREAT MEMORIES in that home that has never changed since Jesus brought you both together in Heaven. I nearly broke when Aunt Cor handed me the Ball, I knew once I took the ball it would finalize so much and break my heart all over again.
We have our last Home Game in a Few Hours and then they Tear up the field for the new Stadium to Finally be built. I look to the Fence when I coach and pray that you will be standing there just ONCE, same spot you stood when you came to my games.
Everything will workout, the Good Lord only gives us as much as we can handle.
My Love and hurt for Both of you has never waivered.
I miss you more today then yesterday but much less then tomorrow.
ETERNAL LOVE
Kenneth

Hey Gram,
I wanted to drop in and wish you a Very HAPPY 90th Birthday in Heaven.
If Heaven is all I dream it to be, You and My Pal are Dancing on the Clouds Together.
As you know so much has gone on, So many times I wish I could just sit with you on the Couch. Just one last Time and put my Head on your Shoulder and Have you tell me everything will be OK.
You were my Guardian Angel on Earth and You will be my Guardian Angel for Eternity until we meet again.
I miss you more then you will ever know, Please continue to watch over us. Please do what you can to help Matthew heal. It breaks my heart to see him in this continuous Pain. I spoke to you in church sunday morning, I hope you were sitting with the good Lord and heard my prayers.
So many BIG decisions I have to make, I know my faith will carry me through.
Pal, Im still grinding the only way I know how. Wrestling finished just over a week ago and Now Football is in full Swing. For me the summer is over, but all my long hours have afforded me and my family the ability to do great things and the memories will never be forgotten. Please know I did my Best and will continue to try daily to live up to your Legacy.
The Damn Red Sox keep on winning, our Yankees have the 2nd best record in all of Baseball and will not win the division unless we can Sweep Boston the rest of the season. Hopefully taking the girls to a game soon, they ask me everyday when we are going.
Pal as always give gram a BIG Kiss for me today. Gram make sure you save a dance for me, until we walk the clouds together.
I miss you more then yesterday but much less then tomorrow.
My ETERNAL LOVE,
Kenneth

Good Morning Pal,
Well today was 10 Years since you were taken from me. My life has truly never been the same, So many times I wish I could just walk in the door and see you on the couch or have you stop by my job to see how things are going.
So much has happened in 10 Years, Life is changing Rapidly. So many things that were a Constant are slowly changing.
I have a few Major Life Changing decisions ahead of me. I can only sit and pray that all will work out and All my efforts will be rewarded.
This is the time of year when a lot of my energy is nearly gone. Lacrosse ended tonight, wrestling in 2 weeks when we wrestle at the Summer Nationals in AC. So I will have 1 or 2 Free Nights for a couple of weeks until Football Starts in full swing. Then Summer is over for me and we start the Grind all over again.
Still working 3 Jobs but this has afforded me some opportunities and given me the extra $ to do things with the Girls.
Gram, as you know lately I have been calling on you to let me know "it will be ok". Poor Matt is suffering daily from this back injury he got during surgery. Mom waiting on more "test Results", the Agony of waiting tears me up inside. I pray the Lord spares her of anymore issues.
I miss you both so much, things are changing and I hope you continue to watch over us.
As Always Pal, Give gram a kiss for me and
Gram Save a dance For Me
I miss you more today then yesterday but much less then tomorrow.
I lover you for Eternity, Until we meet again

Hi Daddy,
Just wanted to drop in to say I did it. I signed the contract. I couldn't believe the church bells ringing but I found it very comforting. Ten years......just can't believe we haven't talked face to face in that amount of time. Mom I would give anything to be sitting on your bed with you and telling you all my woe's like I used to do. You just seemed to always have the right answers but then again you always had my best interest at heart. I really miss you guys. Life has taken on a different way now. Everyone kinda does there own thing these days. I rarely see them but that's life. New beginnings for me and at least I have found out I can do it. You were and are my foundation and I am as steady as a rock. I've been knocked around these past few years but praise God I always get up. Well Daddy time to say goodbye for now. Please give Mom a big hug for me and tell her I miss her terribly. Kiss Patricia for me and tell her I can't believe she left so soon. I miss her craziness every day. Until we are together again keep watch over me and guide me. My eternal Love until Jesus comes back. Yours Corinne

Good Morning,
I sit here this morning and cant help but remember all my Great and not so great Childhood Memories.
The Only constant was both of you and Knowing I was safe when in your sights. SO much has happened over these past few months.
So much Pain, Anger and the feeling of helplessness. My faith has been tested but my strengths have also come to the forefront.
Gram, I have prayed so hard over these past few months. I have called on you for protection when I was Scared as I always did. I carry you on my heart everyday with every step I make. Not a day goes by when I look in the mirror, I see your cross and Bleeding Rose. I know all will be OK even when it seems like it will not be.
My girls are growing So Fast and my fears have multiplied with the evil that lurks in this world. They make me so Proud Everyday, You would have really enjoyed them. Both Beautiful young Ladies who are caring and thoughtful. Danielle reminds me of you in so many ways. Stern but fair and See through all the BS. She is my Strength when needed and always has my back regardless of situation. With her no sugar coating, Take it or Leave it. You would love her for sure. I'm just happy she got a chance to meet you. The only thing I can do is lean on my Faith and your Teachings and Know when the smoke Clears everything will be OK.
My Heart is broken and I can do nothing but sit and watch. I do know that through all the Truth and my Faith is all I need. So much I want to stay but I stay silent for the good.
My Pal, again I come and lean on you and my Legacy you have given me. You were always the GO TO GUY for all your Friends and Family. To a Fault many times you were taken advantage of by those friends and FAMILY. All the while being the envy of all. No you were NOT perfect but who is, we all have had our ups and Downs. To me you were Perfect in every way.
I try everyday to be just a little better then I was yesterday. My Girls are my World and I want them to walk proud knowing their Daddy did everything he could every day to keep them safe and give them all I could. If that Means working 3 Jobs and walking tired every day, then that is what I will do. I learned from the best, Keep working and go out and earn what you want. I still have so many Big Dreams and Great Memories.
Things are changing rapidly and I cant bare to watch. I will sit in silence and continue doing what I know is right. I wish I could just Pickup and Go sometimes. Believe me if Mom would agree to go,I would Leave Tomorrow.
Well God has answered many of my Prayers as of late, Matt is on the mend and Mom as well. The Roller Coaster nearly broke me, I leaned hard on my faith and the lord to carry me through.
The water got Deep at times, Thankfully you and Gram taught me how to swim.
I miss you both now more then ever. Just One last talk with Gram on the Couch or 1 more inning of the Yankees on TV. I know this is only in my dreams until we meet again.
Pal these Yankees are something else, I see another run ahead of us with many Post Seasons and Hopefully World Series wins.
As Always Give Gram a Kiss for me, Gram Save me that dance
I miss you more Today then Yesterday but Much Less then tomorrow.
MY ETERNAL LOVE

Good Morning PAL,
I just wanted to stop in quick and Say HAPPY 100th Birthday.
To say I miss you would be a Gross understatement. My Life Has Never been the same since you left. SO Much would be different if you were still here. I am heartbroken and cant bear to watch some of these thing. I chose to sit silent, it is definitely the best thing to do at this point.
Coming up on 10 Years since you were taken from me. I am being Selfish by saying I wish you were still here. Just ONE Last Knee Squeeze and Talk is all I wish for.
We all have memories with you but You were my PAL. You taught me SO much, just watching you do your thing. I wanted to be with you anytime I could and that still rains true. Even if that meant hauling Lumber, Cutting your Grass, Bringing Loaded Wheel barrows or my Favorite Just watching the Yankees.
As you know the last couple of Months have been nothing short of Heart wrenching and my faith it seems has been tested Daily.
All I can do is Lean on my Teaching and My Faith and Trust all will be OK.
My Girls seem to be becoming Ladies over night. they have becoming such Beautiful caring and compassionate young girls. I am on the RUN NONSTOP, 3 Jobs Coaching 3 Teams and doing what I need to do. All the while trying to show my girls one of your best Lessons. NOTHING IS GIVEN, ALWAYS GO WORK AND EARN what you need.
You were always my HERO and MY IDOL. The Yankees are back and ready to make a run at another Dynasty. Man these young Kids are something else.
Your Great Granddaughters have that CORCORAN fire, that little switch inside to compete. You really would have Loved them PAL, Specially Makenna. Both girls would have sat with us on your couch watching the Yankees. Both Yelling at the screen when mistakes are made, even questioning the Manager at times.
I hope you and Gram are dancing on the Clouds today and Celebrating your 100th Birthday in Style.
I hope you are both Proud of the man I have become. I chase your Legacy Daily and carry the CORCORAN name with pride.
As Always Give Gram a Kiss for me, Gram make sure you save that Dance for me.
I miss you more Today then yesterday but MUCH less then tomorrow.
I LOVE YOU FOR ETERNITY, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

Good Morning,
As I sit here readying myself for the drive to St Francis. I think back to my youth when all things were simple.
When I was scared or Hurt I knew exactly where to run.
Well Today I am Scared and Hurt so I come to you Both this morning. Signs have been everywhere, I know you are with us. I know that when I feel like I cant give anymore or persevere any longer. I here the Echo of your Voice and The Soft Kiss on my cheek.
I beg of you today, as you are everyday walk with me and comfort me. I feel Helpless today, I was Always able to step up and Make things right or Do what I could to Protect Matthew. Today I am vulnerable and Feel Helpless. Today I pray hard that the Lord will Guide the hands of the Surgeons and You will be with him in that room until he is out and Safe.
I can no longer run and Hide from this, My fears are eating me up inside and I am beaten down.
So As I finish, I thank you both for making me The Man I am Today. To my Pal you taught me a valuable lesson without even knowing it. When you are Hurt or Backed into a Corner. Square your Chest and Come out Fighting, Pick up your Boot straps and Be strong for those who need you. I am a CORCORAN, The Grandson of Willie and Mona and The Son of Kenny and Rose. I carry your Name with Pride and Honor you with my every move.
Gram Today I wish I could just Lay my Head on your Shoulder and Have you tell me it will be OK.
NOt a Day goes by I do not think of you Both. I love you more then anyone will ever know
Hey Pal as Always Give Gram a Kiss for me, Gram save me a Dance
I miss you more today then yesterday but Much Less then Tomorrow.
My Eternal Love,
Kenneth

Good Morning,
Well where do I start, we have been talking a lot lately through your Signs.
I hope you liked the flowers I brought on Thanksgiving, it was a beautiful calm morning yet when I kneeled with both of you Gram I felt your Kiss with the breeze on my cheek. I looked around and not a leaf on a Tree was Blowing nor was it windy.
These past couple of months have been nothing short of taxing to say the least. Mom has Battle the only way she knows how, giving me my strength to persevere as always.
Pal,When I called on you while I was in those woods I felt your presence. For what other reason would I take my Hat off and Stare at my USMC Pin while ready to Panic. I prayed to God that he would give me the Strength I needed and I heard your voice. Needless to say, I have never been so scared in my Life. I thought I would never see my Beautiful Girls Again, then the Flashlights finally came.
I never walk alone knowing you and Gram are always with me. You have always been my Safe Place and Always will be my Salvation. When you stopped by in my dream, I knew you saved me and kept me safe.
Gram as you know I have made church and God a regular part of my life. When I leave church or finish a Prayer my Heart becomes full and Clean.
It is Christmas time, all I can do is think back to running up your lawn and seeing all the Colors as you waited by the door. I often wish for just 5 more minutes with both of you. Gram as I have said so many times you would love my Girls. They are both the most Caring and Greatest Blessing I could have ever imagined.
My father Often says, so many people doubted me and who I would become as a man. When he tells me I have become a Great man and father I feel like a man of accomplishment that no money could buy.
I know nothing else but to work and do what I need to do. Whether that means working 3 Jobs and then Coaching 3 Sports to be with my Girls. That's what Ill do, sometimes the only time I have is when I am sleeping so I can start all over again the next day. Sometimes so tired I can barely stand or keep my eyes open.
Danielle has been nothing short of amazing these past few months, never once complaining while running 2 Households. This is the main reason why, I didn't leave when I could have. I truly believe all things happen for a Reason, Whether Good or Bad the Good lord gives you what you can handle.
Sometimes I want to doubt and ask WHY, then I realize he is telling me Slow Down.
I do whatever it takes for my Family, I am a CORCORAN that's all I know. I have been on the verge of a Breakdown and Started feeling sorry for myself. Then I remember, Grab your Boot Straps and Get yourself together. I can never accept the Whoa is Me attitude,we weren't brought up that way. I always watched as Dad, Mom You and Gram doing whatever it took. Feeling sorry for myself is never an option for me. I have Big Plans and Feeling sorry for myself does no good. If I have 3 Dollars and I can help someone with 1 of those dollars, then that's what I will do.
Pal, our Yankees are something else again. LOADED with young talent, although you would not have been Happy with Aaron Judge Striking out so much, these kids are ready for another run. This Stanton kid they just traded for is awesome. Funny Moment during the Playoffs, Girardi made some TERRIBLE Coaching Mistakes. When we were in the locker room at the School after Practice, Sal started to Laugh and said to me "I could Just hear your Grandfathers voice, Screaming at the TV and what he would be saying" Funny how you have left a lasting memory with everyone you have ever came in contact with.
Hey while you guys are up there looking down on us, Keep sending Signs. Keep watching over all of us. It seems that Life has got me running ragged and I haven't even had time to stop by the House and sit with Aunt Cor. I will be making a point to get over there just to talk and feel the warmth of 332 Babylon Street, A home like no other.
I miss you both more then you will ever know. Thank You for my Signs and Thank You for the legacy you have left behind to keep me going everyday.
See you both on Christmas.
Gram as Always Save a Dance for me, Pal give Gram a Kiss for me.
I miss you more today then yesterday but Much Less then Tomorrow.
My ETERANAL LOVE

9 Years Ago Today, I held your Hand and Whispered in your Ear. Although the Pain and Hurt has never left me, I told you to Stop Fighting and Go be with Gram.
I know you Squeezed my Hand, I know you were to proud for me to See your Last Breathe. I still Regret leaving the Hospital that day, but I know you wouldn't have wanted me to see your Final moments.
My Pal, My Idol MY HERO, You were always my Biggest fan All the while I was Always Yours. You Protected me when Needed and Let Me Learn Lessons when needed also.
I will be FOREVER GREATFUL for my Name and My LEGACY that you left behind.
So Much has Happened in 9 Years, 2 Days after you went to Heaven Danielle told me she was Pregnant. God had a Plan, to heal my Pain he brought me Makenna.
Pal you and Gram would Love My Girls, They are Beautiful, Thoughtful Caring with a Corcoran Streak and Work Ethic.
I hope you both approve of the Man I have become. I try Everyday to be half the Man Father, Son, Uncle, Nephew Cousin and Friend that you were.
Although You Hated Tatoo's I wear your Memorial with Pride in Hopes that someone inquires so I can Tell your Story. The Hole that was Left in My Soul will Never be Patched But Your Memories will Never Be Forgotten.
As Always Give Gram a Kiss for me and tell her to Save me a Dance
MY PAL, I LOVE YOU MORE THEN YOU WILL EVER KNOW.
I miss you more Today then yesterday but Much Less then Tomorrow.

Good Morning Pal,
Today is your 99th Birthday, I hope you will be celebrating with Gram and All your Family and Friends in Heaven. Thank You for the sign you sent me yesterday, I know you are always with me. Your RED hat symbolizes so much pride for me and To see a US MARINE Vet wearing the same exact hat was nice on the eve of your Birthday.
I'm sure you been watching everything that has been going on, I assure you that I will keep my Promise I made to you. I am currently working to make that Happen.
I know you and Gram have been watching over us. Kendyl just recently scored a 26 out of a possible 28 on her NYSSMA Violin Solo. The next day we boarded a Plane and Headed off to Texas where she Wrestled in her 2nd ever Tournament and Placed 8th out of 11 to earn All American Honors and Stand on the USA WRESTLING National Podium. I am so proud in the Young well rounded lady she is becoming, She wears her heart on her sleeve and is so loving and Thoughtful. I sent Kendyl and Danielle home early from Texas so Kendyl wouldn't miss her Spring concert. While in the Airport waiting to Fly home Kendyl notice a Young man who you can see was either enlisted or a veteran. She Stopped him before he boarded the Plane in front of a line full of Adults Danielle said and Thanked him for his Service to our Country. Her actions prompted ALL the Adults to do the same. The Soldier was visibly taken back and Thankful to be recognized.
Makenna is continuing to get better on the Mat everyday. She is a tenacious Competitor who HATES to lose whether it be in Wrestling or Lacrosse. She Also made All American in Texas after being Sick and Throwing up the entire night before the tournament. She refused to let me pull her from the Tournament and went out there visibly weakened and not herself as one of her competitors Parents told me after their match.
To say I am Proud of my Kids would be an understatement. All their Athletic Accolades are second to the Fact that Danielle and I are raising two beautiful Respectful young Ladies the same way we were brought up. You Do NOT Quit, Respect your Elders, Love your Family, Do what's right and Love your Country.
I try my Hardest everyday to be a better man then I was yesterday. I work as Hard as I can to be able to provide for my family and Children to give them memories they will Cherish forever.
You are My Hero, My Idol and Everything I want to be as a Father, Son, Husband, Brother, Nephew, Cousin,Uncle and Friend. I hope you and Gram are Proud of the man I have become. Although the road may have been a bit Bumpy to get here, That is what I am most proud of.
Gram I know you watched with pride as Makenna made her Communion and Kendyl was on the Alter as an Alter girl. We do our best to make sure the Kids put God First and Respect and cherish the Church. I try my hardest to make Church every Sunday.
Hey Pal, the Yankees have some nice Young Talent Leading the way again just like in years Past, They are in 1st Place a Game up on the Red Sox. This kid Aaron Judge is awesome, should be another fun run for Yankee baseball.
You both are missed more then you could ever know. My heart has a hole that can never be mended.
Gram Save a Dance for Me and Pal give her a big Hug and Kiss for me.
I miss you more Today then Yesterday but Much Less then Tomorrow.
Until we meet Again
My ETERNAL LOVE

Hey Pal
Been a real rough couple of weeks since I last stopped in. 8 years ago you were taken from me. I know you waited for me to leave that room so not to see your last Breathe. You were my Hero My Idol My Everything. Today we buried Danielle's Nanny and sent her to Heaven. Keep an eye out for her when she gets to the Gates. Tricia should be there as well, God has allowed her to be free from Pain and Suffering Man it has been an emotional Roller Coaster, sometimes it's hard to stay Strong All the time. Hey I am Willie Corcoran's Grandson, That's the only thing I know how to do. I love you Pal, As always give Gram a kiss for me and tell her to save a Dance for me. I miss you both more Today but Much Less then TomorrowREST EASY MARINE- Until we meet againEternal LoveKenneth

I hope you approve of the Dad I have become. I try my best Daily to be Half the Dad and Man that you and My Father were. Without even knowing I learned so much.
As Always Give Gram a Kiss for me, Tell her to save a Dance.

Hi daddy just dropped in to say happy Father's Day in heaven. I miss you here on earth but I am glad you're at peace with the King of kings and lord of lords. Today I will reflect on all the past father days when you were here with us.
I sometimes wish for one yesterday but in my heart I know it would never be enough. I can wish away the rest of my life but it would never be enough. I am a lucky girl to be able to have the memories that I do. Life has taken on a whole new meaning since you went away but no regrets dad. I will see you and mom again soon on the other side of heaven. Funny I found the words to the song you wrote the other day and it was wonderful. Small things mean a lot and God always fills that need. So to the first man I ever loved (and always will) dance with the angels and give them a song. Love you daddy.

Good Morning Pal,
Today is your 98th Birthday, I wanted to stop by and say Hello.
As You Know I have been Running Ragged these last couple of months. Trying to get stuff accomplished and Working some extra Hours. Something that I watched as a young Boy you and My Father do all the time.
I guess that CORCORAN work ethic is one of the great Traits that you passed along. Girls Wrestling Season just came to an End you I will get back Wednesday Nights after Work for a few Weeks. Makenna Wore her USMC Wrestling T-Shirt at this weekend Tournament because your Birthday was coming up. Kendyl is really starting to come into her own on the Lacrosse field. I just hope these pains she has with her legs are just something she will outgrow. We are doing are best to Raise well Rounded and Respectful children. I hope you Both approve of The Man I have Become and Our Teachings Danielle and I hold so dear.
If you guys could take a minute to give a sign to Aunt Cor and Aunt Eileen. They could use a little extra at this time.
We found out what a TRUE family bond needs to be to overcome all.
I was told once "COMFORT BREEDS CONTENT".
I also learned from you that when you are down or backed into a tight spot, Pickup your Boot Straps Tie your Laces and Come out Fighting. One of your many GREAT LESSONS I live by Daily. WE ARE CORCORAN's we will FIGHT for each Other til the DEATH if need be.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINE
As Always Give Gram a Kiss for me. Save a Dance For Me Gram.
I MISS YOU MORE THEN YESTERDAY BUT MUCH LESS THEN TOMORROW.
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

Good Morning Gram,
just wanted to stop in and wish you a Happy Mother's Day. As I sit hear, I cant figure out why some of my post are not here.
Oh well You know never a minute goes by, that you and My Pal aren't in my every thought. So I have been praying on a few things pretty heavily lately. pretty amazing how a simple prayer and talk with the Lord can make me feel like everything will be OK. I do my best to make Church every Sunday, gets difficult when I work Saturday Nights.
Thank you for watching over kendyl and keeping us all safe. She is really becoming quite the young Lady. In The Classroom on the Field and Even Musically.
So as you know Makenna and Team Alpha wrestled their first ever Tournament Together as a Team this past Saturday at Columbia University. I hope you guys were able to come and watch. She is so tough when she wants to get after it, I often forget she is only 7 years old and wrestling for less then a year. There are times when I question myself about the decision to have her wrestle, I often make sure that this isn't about me and my Incompletion on the Mat. She loves it so much and this team is bigger then all of that.
Your Washed up Grandson was coaching Across the mat from a WORLD BRONZE Medalist and USA WRESTLING team member.
I may have missed my calling to become a Teacher but I take an even greater pride in being a Mentor as a Coach. I have seen some Great Children grow into outstanding People.
Our family has been dealt a blow but its nothing that Together we cannot overcome.
To my Pal, I ask that while I am working at night you always stay over my Shoulder and Give me the Strength to overcome any situation I may be put in.
I miss you both more then anyone will ever know, WATCH OVER US. Your Girls could use a little Strength from more then just my Hugs. Like you Pal, I will DIE for my Family. I am a CORCORAN, The Grandson of Willie and Mona Corcoran and I take tremendous pride in my Name and its Lineage. I hope you are both looking down on me and Approve of what I have become. As you know the Road is not always Smooth, Knock me down 5 Times and I will get up 6.
Pal give gram a kiss for me, As Always Gram Save a Dance for me until we meet in the heavens.
I Miss you more today then yesterday but much less then tomorrow.

Hey Guys,
Not sure why my last couple of Post aren't on here. No big Deal, Not a minute goes by that both of your aren't in my Thoughts.
I hope you Enjoyed your Christmas Card and Flowers.
I am sure you are aware that I have been running myself ragged this last couple of month's. Trying to build a Bank Account for a Rainy day. To be honest, I would work more if I could.
Many things on my mind, many things I want to accomplish.
By Now you are aware of my Latest endeavor Starting an ALL GIRLS Wrestling team, Yes Girls Wrestling team. Your Great Granddaughter Makenna is Obsessed with the sport and she is getting quite good I must say. One thing is she HATES to lose and gets very upset. Not really sure where she gets that from.
My Girls are my WORLD, I would work 10 Jobs 24 hours a day if it meant they are given what they need and never want for anything. Between Dad and Mom Matt and I have had no Choice but to do whatever is needed to get things done.
I guess it is one of those Corcoran Family Traits that I am specially proud of.
It is Great that I am FINALLY able to Coach my own Girls in Sports after so many Years of Coaching everyone else's Kids. Kendyl has done very well on the Lacrosse Field and Enjoys it very much. Next year she will try Softball and Basketball. Makenna Wrestling and Lacrosse. Not that you need and Invite but Wanted to Drop in and Invite you guys to Join us on May 7th at COLUMBIA University. My Little Girl and our team will be Competing in the GOTHAM CITY OPEN.
Gram, I will be sure to make it back to Church this Sunday, after a couple that I have missed.
Pal baseball Season is less then a week away, its this time of the Year that I MISS you the most.
Yesterday was Easter, we went straight to Aunt Eileen's after our trip to NJ with John and Suzanne. Another Awesome Meal and Family. You guys would be truly impressed with the Girl who couldn't Boil Water many years ago and Now I would put her Cooking against anyone.
Always Nice to get the Family Together as a Group, Kendyl and Makenna Both said Grace in each room to Bless our Meal and Our Time Together.
I miss you more and more each day, Please continue to watch over me and The Family. I know you are always just a breeze away.
I miss you more Today then Yesterday but much Less then Tomorrow.

You are my PAL my Hero, I try everyday to uphold the legacy you left behind for me. I know no one is Perfect but to me You were PERFECT and no one can tell me different.
As I write this I am in the church parking lot after Mass and reflecting on my life with you and our Family. I have a lot on my mind right not and some big decisions to make. I know deep down when I speak to the lord and to you and gram I have a feeling in my heart that everything will be ok.
Today has always been a real tough day for me, 7 years seems like 70 The hole in my soul can never again be patched until I see you again.
I hope your as Proud of me As I am to be Willie Corcoran's grandson.
I miss you more then anyone will ever know. Today I will bring the girls to see you both.

Good morning Daddy just wanted to write you as today is 7 years since you went to be with the Lord. Although I know its good for you it is heartbreaking for all of us...Not a day goes by that I don't reflect on one of the many memories that you have left. Today the family is coming over for the birthdays and we will all be together. I know you and Mom would be happy as the pool is up and running (thanks to Matthew)and the weather is hot so I can only imagine everyone will be swimming. Just like back when we were kids. Only two very important people who started this whole thing won't be here. But I do know you will be hear in spirit. I try to keep everyone coming and keep the Corcoran traditions that you and Mom instilled in us alive. Today is always bitter sweet. But I will rejoice in the fact that you and Mom are where I will be one day and we will all be together again. I miss our times together and our many many laughs. So for now and always I love and miss you both with all my heart keep us in your watch and protect us from evil. Kiss Mom for me and Tell Jesus I love him. I will always keep my promises to watch the baby and her family and to keep care over all the kids. It a tall order but I will do it. Wink Wink just between me and you! Love you Daddy, see you soon.

Good Morning PAL,
I just wanted to drop in and wish you a Happy Birthday. So it happened after 39 years, Yesterday was the Belmont Stakes and AMERICAN PHAROAH won the Triple Crown.
I will assume that you already knew that and watched it from the clouds.
I hope you liked the Flower the Girls brought you last week,they picked it out themselves. I started a new tradition this year, Every Memorial day from here on in the girls and I will visit the Veterans Cemetery and then come see our Favorite War Hero and Marine. The girls each got two flowers each and we walked the Aisle. They both picked 2 Soldiers each, Kendyl stopped and said Daddy I need to put one of my flowers here. The Stone Read FLORENCE, she was a Medic in WWII. She said Florence just like Gram, although my girls were never lucky enough to meet my Angel, they know everything about you both.
I hope you have a GREAT 97th Birthday in Heaven Marine. I pray everyday that Heaven is everything I dream it is.
AS always give Gram a Kiss for me, tell her to Save a Dance.
I miss you more today then yesterday but MUCH less the Tomorrow.

15 years Ago Today, I received a Phone call that changed my life forever. At the time I could not comprehend what I was hearing and still to this day it feels like just yesterday. I carry you with me on my Heart everyday, because that's what you meant to me. There has been a Hole in my Soul since that day that will never be filled.
I truly hope you approve of the Man I have become. The virtues I learned by growing up with You and My Pal will stay with me forever. I try everyday to be a better Father, Husband, Son ,Brother, Nephew Cousin and Friend than I was yesterday.
15 Years seems like 15 minutes to me.As selfish as it is I wish everyday you could have been here to see my Girls. I know if you were here you would be overjoyed with all your Grandkids. Kendyl and Makenna have always been told how special you were to me, Although you never physically got to meet them.They know exactly who my GRam was and what you meant to me.
Aunt Corinne has always made her home just like you did. My girls always feel like they are the most important girls in the world when the door opens. Same exact way I felt every time I crossed that threshold.
You will forever be my Guardian Angel as you were on Earth. They Say time heals all wounds, I can without hesitation tell whoever says that THEY ARE WRONG. Losing you and My PAL have left wounds in me that will never heal.
I will do my best to stop down and see you today. When I am there please Blow me a Kiss onto my Cheek as you always do. It helps dry my Tears.
Hey PAL, today hold your girl extra tight, give her a kiss for me. Tell Her To Save A Dance for Me.
I miss you Guys More Today then Yesterday but MUCH LESS then Tomorrow.

Good Morning,
As always you are my first stop for any holiday. I want to wish you both a Happy Easter. I hope you loved the Flowers we left you, Kendyl and Makenna both insisted we leave pictures for you to enjoy.
Today is a little different, our friend John and Suzanne invited us to spend Easter with them. It was a tough decision for us to make not being home with everybody. Unfortunately john and Suzanne have not been able to have kids, we decided it would really be nice if they got to expierence the beautiful reaction our girls make when they see that the Easter bunny has dropped by. It is pretty amazing he was able to hop all the way to New Jersey to leave a basket for them. It will be different but I know one thing, a lot less Running from morning until night to make sure we get to see everybody on the holiday.
As you know from my prayers, I have become tired and need some help making decisions. I just want to be able to let me Girls play on the front lawn, or even pull out of my driveway without having to wait for cars to pass every time. I made a promise to you PAL, I will never break that promise.
I hope you will enjoy the Easter Holiday showing off the Girls pictures we left you. I am doing my best to be a Great Dad, Husband Son, Brother Nephew Cousin and Friend that I can be.
Gram it took me a little while but I hope you are happy that we have brought the church back in to my family. I know you hear my prayers every Sunday at mass and Feel my Kisses when I come to see you.
To my PAL tomorrow is opening day of Yankee Baseball. It will be very different without Derek Jeter with the team. I know you will be watching.
AS Always give a Kiss to Gram and Save a Dance for me.
I love you more Today then Yesterday but much less then tomorrow.
Happy Easter, MY ETERNAL LOVE

Dear Mom & Daddy
Christmas went off well and it seemed everyone was satisfied. As for me no so much. Too much stress this year, no money and a lot of nervousness. I think I put too much pressure on things that are not important. The business is no where in sight as of right now although I know God has a plan. As always the supper table was full with the family from the oldest to the youngest. But you and Daddy were still missed. Johnny Boy brought his girl this year, my goodness how time fly's, it seems like yesterday that they were all babies. Makenna led the prayer The Our Father and she was wonderful. It is nice when the kids put the blessing on the meal.
I like to think that you and Daddy are still with us and I know you are in spirit, but I gotta tell you Mom what I wouldn't give for just one more conversation to pick your brain for advise. Maybe do things better, act the right way. I find that these days I can cry at the drop of a hat. I guess your saying your bladder is near your eye, but I just feel like for the first time I'm loosing a grip on things, I want to be able to be me again and be independent and stop being afraid. I need to get this business going and for us me and my sister to be busy and be a success. Mom you use to tell me go find happy but maybe just this one time, you could guide me to where it is. I need your help. I miss you more and more every day. Thank you for my Sister and my Brothers cause without them I would truly be lost. And from them I have my kids which they are all so gracious to allow me to call them my kids. God does provide. Well I think I chewed your ear enough, I will sign off for now with all of my love yours Corinne

Hey Guys
So Christmas is over already, As always Aunt Corinne and Eileen put out a fantastic meal.
I hope you both loved my flowers that I brought you yesterday. Man normally I get a light little breeze on my cheek when I sit with you. I felt the wind blowing when My tears where flowing. I felt you tell me not to cry, that is impossible when we are together. I hope you had a great Christmas in Heaven. Gram save a dance for me. Hey PAL give her a kiss for me. I love you both more then you will ever know.
I miss you more today then yesterday but much less then Tomorrow.
My Eternal Love

Good Morning Mom and Daddy, Just dropped by to say hello. As you know things are not going so fast with the new store, but I trust God and I know he would never have allowed Me and Eileen to get involved with this unless it was going to be successful. It seems every time we think things are good another shoe drops. The town is taking their sweet time on releasing the permits and therefore as you guys know, we can't even put a coat of paint on the walls. It is a little scary as the $ is starting to dwindle and the completion is no where in sight. However on the upside yesterday we got our furniture in and that was exciting. Daddy I bet you were laughing watching Eileen and I using the dolly and carrying all those boxes. The boys were all working {except for Paddy} so as true Corcoran's we figured it out. Margaret and Bridget are troopers as well and Mom you would have been proud they lifted and moved just like you used to do. NO FLIES ON US! We are trying so hard to make this come to a reality. You know you can't walk around with your heart on your sleeve but boy we are starting to get a little discouraged. But than the fire starts inside of us and we try harder, I am trusting God and know that he is in control of everything. So in retrospect I guess I am just sounding off. Sorry for the rant but....you know that's how I roll. Eileen has worked very hard on this business as you well know. She should have been a Private Investigator, she's quite good at it. She looks into everything and gets her answers. Her idea's are above and beyond my comprehension, but we will persevere.
To say that I am sad that you are not here with us now is silly. That is just a given. Mom there are times when I miss you so much and need your advise on things that I just want to close the blinds and stay in bed. But I won't allow that. It seems every time I get like that God sends someone to me who needs my help. Crazy right? I know that we will be OK no matter which way this goes, but boy I hope it goes the right way. When I talk to the two of you I have the privilege of feeling like a kid again, like now. To the both of you I miss you with all of my heart as you know and I need divine intervention to make this dream come true. I will continue to ask Jesus to stay with me as always.
Let me get to going and attempt to get something done today. My undying Love and Devotion Corinne

Hey PAL
Yesterday I brought my Princess Kendyl to see # 2 Derek Jeter for the final time.
The memories that stand out of my childhood consist of me and my PAL at my first Yankee Game. I told Kendyl and she beamed with Pride. Tonight is one of those times, I wish we could be sitting on the couch in the Den watching our team together just one more time. I want to Thank You from the bottom of my broken heart for you making me a Yankee Fan. The look I saw yesterday was worth a million dollars and will forever be a priceless moment for Me. I hope you are watching, once again you were dead right " This Kid Jeter will be one of the Greats" I love you PAL. As always please give Gram a Kiss for me. Tell her to Save A Dance for me. I miss you more today then yesterday but much less then tomorrow. Eternal Love

Good Morning,
I wanted to stop by and Invite you to join me Tonight at the EIYO Banquet. There is always a spot reserved for both of you. I am being honored for Community Service and my volunteer work with the Youth Leagues in East Islip.
I will be Thanking some people tonight for the impact they have had on my life. I want to first thank Both of you for everything you ever did for me and provided me with. 332 Babylon Street was always my safe place, in good times and bad that was always were I loved being. Although it is different now, the feeling is still the same every time we go there. Aunt Corinne is always at the door to Greet us all with the same enthusiasm that you both had when we came over. As you know she is an extremely Special person and even when she is having a bad day she seems to muster up a Happy face. Sometimes to a fault, I told her and I will tell you both. As long as I am alive she will never need to worry or feel like she is a burden on me if help is needed.
I know at time I wasn't the greatest of Grandson's, Son , Brother, Nephew, Cousin and Friend.
I try everyday to be better then I was yesterday. I guess you can say that all I do and am being honored for is my pennants for previous Mistakes I made.
On Sunday's when I sit in church I often think of some of the sins I have had in my past. I know we ask for forgiveness but I believe not only prayer and asking for forgiveness is enough. I try to do what's right and to help people that are in need. I do not need nor to want to be patted on the back.
My Goal is to make everyone proud to be related to me, I want my wife and kids to feel special and proud of who I have become. Most of all I want to make my Mom and Dad proud and know that all their teachings and what they have done is appreciated and know how Thankful I am.
So tonight I want you to come with me as I give my Speech, I want you to be proud of the Grandson I have become and give you reason to Brag to your friends in Heaven as I know both of you do.
Most Of All THANK YOU for being Willie and Mona Corcoran.
I miss you both more the yesterday but much less then tomorrow.
As Always Pal give Gram a Kiss for me. Gram save a dance for me.
My Eternal Love

Good Morning PAL,
I haven't written in a while, doesn't mean I am not thinking of Both of you every minute.
So the holidays are over and we have had nothing but BACK BREAKING snow. If you can pull any strings see if they can cut this crap out. Do not worry I make sure I take car of the House and Aunt Corinne as promised.
I hope you and Gram enjoyed this years Christmas Card I left for you, I will put the picture up here as well.
SO Saturday night we went to see the play Bronx Bombers about our NY Yankees, I felt like a kid again sitting and listening to them tell the stories I heard so many times from you. After the show Danielle turns to me and says wow that reminded me of Grandpa. She couldn't have been more correct, the show was outstanding. You would really enjoy it,the Greatest Yankees Players from Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe D, Mickey Mantle, Thurman Reggie and Billy Martin all told thru the accounts of Yogi Berra and his wife. Truly awesome.
Gram every Sunday I have been going to church, as I promised you I will do my best to be sure the girls are involved in the church. For me I must admit I get very emotional every Sunday when I am in church, not sure why. I have a strong feeling of accomplishment every week. I make it a point to say grace before "supper" I even down loaded an App on the girls Tablets so I can read stories and scriptures to them. Just realized, you have no idea what an App is or a Tablet. Either way, all the kids are growing so fast, Margaret just had her sweet 16, John and Eileen really did an outstanding job for her. Bridget is on the Honor Roll and Patrick is becoming a fine young man. I cant stress enough how much I wish you could have been around to meet My Girls and Hope that You and My Pal are Proud of me and how hard I work to be a Great Father to them. Johnny Boy is 18 already and is a Good Kid. He is no different then any other 18 year old Boy including myself.
I will drop in again soon and of Course see you on Easter Sunday.
Baseball is starting soon so I will be in and out to give you updates.
Not a day goes by that you both aren't in my thoughts.
Remember Save a Dance For me, I love you more then any written word can say.
I miss you both more then Yesterday but much less then Tomorrow. Rest Peacefully my angels
Eternal Love

Good Morning Marine,
Today we Observe Veterans day and Yesterday was the Marine Corps Birthday. As you know you were the Proudest Marine I had ever come across. I always dreamt of you greeting me at Paris Island when I graduated from Boot Camp. You stood by my side when I went through the process, you spoke with the Recruiters of your Times in WWII. Every Marine Young and Old you came across honored you including the Brass you came across at the Marine Corp Ball.
To this day my biggest regret is not being man enough to complete my Dream. On September 11th I watched you cry when our City was attacked, I was going to enlist into the USMC. When you pulled me aside and Begged me not to go I respected your wishes.
God had a plan for me I suppose, I later found out what that Plan was. I thank God everyday you were able to see my first born, Not a day goes by I do not sit with the girls and tell them how Special both You and Gram were to me. You were my Protector my safe house and Most of all my HERO.
I will always strive to become half the Man, Father, Son , Brother Uncle, Cousin and Friend you were to so many. The Legacy you and Gram left behind can never be forgotten.
On this Veterans day, I get to post your picture for all to see, Hoping to tell your Story of Heroism and Valor. Thank You For Your Service to our Country.
Thank You For being WILLIE CORCORAN and setting the Bar for me to strive for.
I miss my PAL, more then any written word will ever express. The hole in my sole will never seal.
As always Kiss Gram for me and Tell her to save a Dance for me. I will see you both on Thanksgiving Morning. Please touch my face with the Breeze as you always do. I need some reassurance that I will never walk alone.
I miss you More Today then Yesterday but much Less then Tomorrow.
I LOVE YOU MY PAL,
Kenneth

Good Morning Gram,
I wanted to pop in and tell you Happy 85th Birthday, Even though you are in Heaven I still feel your presence. I recently was thinking of my 6th grade graduation book that you signed.
The quote you wrote was simple and true to this day "Last in your Book, First in your Heart. I was never able to express to you how true that was. You and my Pal were always there for me, no matter the circumstances. You were my protector, although I will never forget some of those things, it has made me who I am today.
My wish is that you and my Pal are watching me and guiding me moves in the right direction. Everday I wake and try to be the Best Father, Husband , Son, Brother, Nephew, Cousin, Friend and Most of All Grandson that you are proud of.
Everyday I see you when I look in the mirror my chest bares a Purple Rose wrapped around a Bleeding Heart. The Heart represents the way I felt when you were taken from me.
Although it is a selfish thought, I wish you were able to meet my Girl. They know who you are like they are with you everyday. I tell Kendyl all the time how special you were to me and Makenna would have been one of your favorites. She is something else, they look at my Mom and Dad the way I looked at you, You and Grandpa left a lasting Legacy behind that I will never Tarnish. I pray quietly to keep us safe, we pray regularly before "supper". Being a Daddy is the greatest gift I was given, I know you were one of the reasons why God sent us 2 Beautiful Healthy Girls.
I know my Pal is standing over your shoulder asking what I'm saying, tell him I'm doing my Best and I hope he approves.
I hope you danced on the Clouds with him and sang the night away for your birthday.
Remember Save a Dance For me, I love you more then any written word can say.
I miss you both more then Yesterday but much less then Tomorrow. Rest Peacefully my angel
Eternal Love

Hey Pal,
Today is 5 years since you were taken from me to be with Gram. Not is single minute of the day goes by that you aren't in my thoughts. 5 years seems like 500 years to me. The void left in my soul will never be filled until you meet me at the Gates of Heaven.
I hope you approve of the Man I have Become, The Father, Husband, Uncle Nephew Cousin Friend. If I can only be half of what you were I will be a success.
I will never forget this day, you waited for us to leave. I know deep in my Heart you squeezed my hand when I whispered in your ear.
You are now and forever will be my Hero, I miss you more then anyone will ever know.
As Always Give Gram a kiss for me, Tell her to save a Dance for me.
I miss you more today then yesterday but much less then Tomorrow.
Rest Easy Marine
I LOVE YOU PAL
