Dad,

Your Oldest Grandson reminded me out of my terrible sadness~~YOU would not want us to be sad & grieving still~that you would have not been happy to think our time left here, was to dwell with sadness of your loss..I know more than anyone you didn't want to be remembered like that.

I will, I promise, this year, try only to put my horrible feelings of loss away and my tears ~and remember you in happiness for the awesome person you were and the Man you are, thats loved by so many people...

You touched so many lives and it would be a shame on our part~ for us to live forever in sadness of your light..Also, it be nice to share those good memories with people whom remember...

I know you are an angel. Watching all around your loved ones..I look forward to seeing you again someday, when the Great one chooses me to move on in my journey..That is our salvation. John 3:16 For GOD so loved the world...

My love always ~

I lost my son and my best friend four years ago. I still feel the pain just like it was last night. I miss you so much Nick. Your brother called last night right at 7:30. He misses you and remembers that last night.

They never tell the the truth about dying..When someone one you love dies on earth,they live on in your memory and heart, which makes it no easier to accept they are gone..If people knew the real pain of memories of losing a dear love one and what is left afterward~ perhaps no one would love anyone..

I want to remember You in joy, but sadness still fills my heart and tears fill my eyes when I face the fact you are still gone...Four years hard to believe..

I miss you, Daddy

Nick,its still hard to believe you're gone. At least from this earth, but for those of us who loved you, we all know you are watching over us. You are a very special person and one of my best friends, we coud argue about the dumbest things, but then we always managed to agree on the conclusion. Keep watch over all of us.

Hi big brother I love you and miss so much. I am sorry I can't be there at your service in body but I am there with you in spirit and with all my heart.

Thank you for being my big brother and for always being there for me even when i messed up. You are the best big brother anyone could ever have. Rest in Peace Brother I will see you soon.

Nick Corbin was my best friends older brother. Nick was the shining example of what a big brother, a father, and an uncle should be. I wasnt part of the Corbin family, but I was always treated with the same kindness, and open armed welcome as if I was family. Nick, You were a blessing from God to all who knew you. Thank You...

Some People knew him as Nick, few knew him as John. I myself knew him as MY BIG BROTHER. He was always there for me no matter what time of day or night, with a smile on his face, and a reassuring tone in his voice that it was going to be alright. If there was ever a book to be written on the Guide of how to be a Big Brother, John Nicholas’s face would be on the cover. I miss him so much and I JUST DON”T WHY UNDERSTAND GOD did this to him. He never did anything to anyone to deserve the hand he was dealt the last year……The only comfort I now have is knowing that he SUFFERS no more and he is in a better place, doing the thing’s he LOVES most and that was GOLFING & COOKING. May he always hit a Hole in ONE and never overcook anything. I Love & MISS YOU JOHN NICHOLAS Your little brother STEVE

My sweet son, I will miss you the rest of my life. I loved you so much and felt the pain you went through. I was devastated but happy that your father in Heaven released you from the heavy burdens you carried for the last 5 months. Rest well my son, it won't be long until we meet again.

your loving and devoted ma-ma
