My dearest son,
The fog has lifted the numb feeling gone . The shock is still here I expect that it will be here for a long time.
I visited your grave it was like a dream"No this isn't my son" my heart kept saying but my head knew different. Yesterday was a terrible day. I miss you more than words can say. i would give anything to see you 1 more time and to hug you . I am lost without all my chicks .I will never stop looking for you around me. Lana told us that Daddy was right behind her pointing. Corey I know how you loved her she asked for you when she comes over.
I love you with every fiber of my being that will never end .Dad misses you terribly his buddy isn't here.He will never have another 1. He is lost without you .I love you Corey..til we meet again

Dear Margarite and family, I want to share with you my last time with Corey he was getting ice from the refridgerator and turned to look at me with that handsom smile and said I'm going to see my daughter today, of course his smile got even larger, I said I have not seen her in a year, he said, she is so beautiful I can't wait to spend some time with her. I said how are things going? he said great I have my family but especially my mom, I then told him of the relationship I had with a brother who passed, I said I never gave up on him, Corey replied yea that's my mom to. I knew Corey through the love and exceptional dedication of his family. I know in my heart he felt that LOVE and knew he was LOVED. I leave you with a poem
What the Mother sings to her child in the cradle, goes all the way with him in his journey home to heaven.
Love you guys
Joni <3

To my dear little brother and favorite uncle Corey, It is hard to believe that you are gone. You had so many plans in life and so many things that you wanted to accomplish. But now that you are gone, I know that making sure your friends and family are ok are first on your list. You would be so happy to see how many people came together to celebrate your life and how sadly you are missed. Please help Mom and Dad through all of this, I know you loved them deeply..and they loved you more than you would ever know. You are going to be busy up there watching over all of us..Paige and Lona are expecting you to keep the monsters out of their closet..or at least that is what they are telling everyone. We love you and will never forget you..Love Nicole and Paige

My Dearest Marguerite and Pohlig family,
My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you at the saddest time in your life. This little poem was read by Maria Shriver at Tim Russert's eulogy.
"The Little Ship"
I stood watching as the little ship sailed out to sea. The setting sun tinted his white sails with a golden light, and as he disappeared from sight a voice at my side whispered, "He is gone."
But the sea was a narrow one. On the farther shore a little band of friends (his grandparents Eva & Sam Ross, his Poppy and Uncle Teddy)
had gathered to watch and wait in happy expectation. Suddenly they caught sight of the tiny sail and, at the very moment when my companioin had whispered, "He is gone" a glad shout when up in joyous welcome, "Here he comes!"
Rest In Peace, and Godspeed, Cory.

To my son Corey,
Words can't describe how lost I feel without you. I had 3 children and each 1 made up a part of me. I will never be whole again until I'm reunited again with all my children. I am dazed and so very lost.
I think of the times when you insisted that you wear you Ninja turtle outfit and moon boots everyday.(most times I would let you after I washed them when you slept). You were only aloud to wear them around the house.When you totally worn those same pants out I had to cut them into shorts. WHAT A SIGHT!!!!
Dad and I remember your smile, it was like no other .It could light up the whole room and it did. What a beautiful smile. I miss your sense of humor.We didn't always need spoken words to communicate. I would just look at you and you knew what it was I was laughing at.
Every time the phone rings or the door opens I feel like you will be on the other side.
You would be so happy to see how many people have come together on your behalf it's wonderful,you would be very touched. The dogs miss you too.
Corey I miss you so much words can't begin to say.
I know there must be a reason you were taken from us so young,but what ever it was it must have been important.I can't believe God would cause this much pain for something unimportant.
I am so very glad my last words to you were I Love You
I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL.
MOM

To our long time friend Margarite.
We the Reyes family is sending you our deepest condolences for our long time family and friend, Corey. It seems like yesterday when all of our children used to run and play together. They grow up so fast and before you know we have grandchildren. In which that's a blessing from God. We take the good memories and hold on to it. The rest doesn't matter. We know that Corey is in a better place and he will never be forgotten. He's one of god's soldiers and we will see him again someday in heaven. We will all pray for you're family. Stay strong. Love always, The Reyes Family.

My deepest condolences to Corey's Family and Sisters, as I can relate to the pain of losing a brother. My prayers are with you all.
This kind of loss is one in which the pain never truly goes away, it just gets smaller and condensed, tucked away in a corner somewhere in the deep recesses of the heart. There it remains at a constant low level ache, which with time may be overridden. There may be times when a site, a smell, a place, a song, an anniversary or birthday will trigger the old memories and the intensity of the grief and loss will return again. These feelings often arrive without warning and can be just as painful making one feel as though he/she was experiencing the loss anew.
God Bless you now and when these incidences befall!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
