Cari: Jennie and the boys are going to miss Cory hugely. I know Jennie will do all she can to help you through this difficult time. Cory was such a lovely and giving man. He will be in good company with our beloved Desi. I will hold you both in my thoughts and prayers.

Cory, You are truly going to be missed by this family! This is all too familiar and this loss will be forever..
You were such an amazing mentor to my sons...
* When I was unable to tie Jess's necktie before his numerous high school events, you were the one to show him how. (afterwards telling me what an amazing job I am doing with my boys)
* Taking Levi to workout, showing him how to train effectively, I swear he ate peanut butter for two weeks straight after that, telling me that Cory thinks I will be bigger and stronger for eating it!
* And Maxx, you always encouraged me that he would grow out of his stubborn stage and being head strong would only help him in life...I sure hope you're right! You would tell him to keep it down in the alley and he'd actually listen to you..He misses you so much, you've had a huge influence on these Giant boys of mine.
* You always encouraged them to work hard and respect their mama!
* Who will "Save the Day", fix our drain, look at the flat tire, Lift the heaviest of furniture, eat the extra artichokes I don't sell, or just be a great neighbor!
We are better just by knowing you..
and Cari, you my dear were adored, Cori loved you so much, his memory will steady you, I promise!
With love, Jennifer and The Boys

I didn't know Cory but I wanted to offer my condolences to his family. I knew Jon, Bev and Kimberly a long time ago. I lived in Fountain Valley, across the street from them. I babysat Kimberly when she was a newborn and toddler. (My dad, Richard, was the FV cop, we lived on Ivory.) It saddened me to see Cory's obituary and see that it was their son and brother. My heart goes out to them and his wife, Kari. Please know that I am praying for you during this very difficult time. It sounds like Cory had some wonderful accomplishments in his short life. Please be proud of all that he did while he was here.
