I'm so sorry to hear of your loved and deepest condolences are extended to you. Something that's helped me through the death of loved ones is to reflect on 1 Corinthians 15:26.

Chris and I worked together and connected instantly. Soon I found out that this guy had unreal ability to connect with people... He was a great friend and mentor. He was a man of integrity who deeply loved his family... and I respected immensely for these qualities.

To Corey family and especially Mrs. Cara Corey, I'd like to how sorry I'm for your loss and mine!!! Love and Prayers to all of you.

Chris was such an important part of our family as the boys were growing up. I shall always remember his wit, intelligence, and friendliness. It is difficult to believe his smile and sparkle in his eyes are gone from us. I will always remember him as the pleasant young man who spent time at my house but also housed my son so many times during their young lives. He will certainly be missed. Love and prayers to all of the Corey family.
