Dear Family,
My heartfelt condolences to you in the loss of your beloved son, Corey. Though death is hard to deal with under any circumstance, it is probably hardest when it destroys the life of one of our children. Though this is an extremely difficult time for you, please take comfort in knowing that Corey now rests in peace. Also know that the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort understands your pain and sorrow. He promises to comfort and strengthen you now and in the days to come to cope with your loss.
My thoughts continue with your family.
(Mark 5:35-43 and Luke 7:11-15).

"I didn't know you personally, but you were a son, a brother, and a friend to my daughter and a boyfriend to her friend. And you were taken away from everyone too soon. May you rest in peace. My deepest sympathy goes out to your family and friends who will miss you.

Corey, I still can't believe you are gone bro. I really wish I had a closer relationship with you, but I'm just glad that I got to know you and shake hands and say hi to you in the hall in high school. My best memory was when you, Bertie, Angelino, and I went to Dorney Park for a day. That was fun man. My other memories of you were just chilling with you every morning back in high school with everybody. REST IN PEACE, my thoughts and prayers go out to the whole Bitler family and other loved ones. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I've only known Corey for 3 years. I met him when I was in 9th grade and he was in 11th. He was at my bus stop, and we became very close. But over time we grew apart and didn't talk as much, but I always considered him a friend. He was a good friend and he always knew what he wanted in life. He had a great personality that i'll never forget. He is missed by many people.
i miss you corey :[

Corey,
You were like a little brother to me for so many years. It is such a shame that something so terrible has to happen to such a kind hearted person. You will be forever missed, and will live on in our hearts.
Dave,
Though I only met you in passing through waves and smiles when dropping Corey and my brother off at your house, I know you had such a positive influence on my brothers life. Stay strong through these tough times, and know that Corey is smiling down on you and watching over you always. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Corey.. you and i were friends from the start we were in the same 7th grade class.. thats how i met you. we have been through almost everything together. you always had my back and i had yours. 100%... Dave you were like the father figure for me. You watched out for me and made sure i did good. I still remember when i was in placement and they woke me up at 430 am because you had no idea where corey was when he was really at his gf's. Corey always made sure i stayed safe and that nothing would happen to me.. I wish i could have done the same on this horrible day. If any of his family members ever need anything please do not hesitate i will be there in sleet hail or snow even rain for you to talk to. I will always make sure that his legacy lives on and people all around know how good a person he was.
