It is hard to start here. Corey was one of my first friends ever, and continued to be by my side through high school until you all moved. I missed her then, and I miss her more now. I'd like to tell her how much she meant to me, and how proud I was of her. She was my friend, my side-kick,my teammate, my therapist, everything. I will remember her with nothing but great memories and happiness.

How sad I am to read of Corey's death. And how I ache for all of you, her family. My memories of her as a little girl at Story Hours at the Vestal Public Library are good ones . . . what a delightful child she was. And we enjoyed watching her on the soccer field in her teenaged years. Our past connections with our son David as a h.s. classmate of Diane's, Colgate U., Methodist churches in Endicott and Vestal, and seeing your family "around town" are reminders of the "ties that bind". I wanted you to know that thoughts and prayers are with you from FL, with hopes that your happy memories of Corey will soon overcome your grief.

From reading these entries you two obviously no what a kind soul your daughter was. She is now with the angels where God has intended. I will never forget her gentle ways and her beautiful smile. Corey was truly a blessing to all who knew her. I hope you can find comfort in knowing her pain is gone, her suffering over. I will never forget the soccer trips and the time we spent together. Daniel and Erin I can only imagine the pain you two are feeling. Just know how lucky you were to have a big sister like Corey. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
