Annie & Ronnie,
We were heartbroken when we learned of Adam's illness just this week. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers daily. Although we did not know Adam well, his moral character and faith in God was obvious in the comments and stories told at the service. This is a testament to the job that you have done as parents in raising such a wonderful young man. As time passes, and as you return to life's routine, we pray that you are comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
We love you.

Annie and Ronnie~
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today. I am out of town and happened to read the Advocate online this morning and read about Adam's death and his successful accomphlishments in his life. Words cannot express the grief that I feel at this moment, but we all know that Adam has reached his wonderful spot in Heaven next to his loved ones.
I wish I would have gotten to meet him. With such wonderful parents, he had to be a special child.
I can only imagine Vince's grief during this time. He is such a caring Doctor and told me when we were with him that he feels the pain so much when he loses a patient.
Love forever,
vicki and gary spurlock

CROSSING THE BAR
By Alfred Lord Tennyson

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

Annie, Ronnie, Emily, and Molly,
Heaven has a brighter smile and St. Peter has a new helper to welcome GOD's children home. May GOD supply you with the peace, comfort, and strength that only He can give. Our prayers and love are for you.

Adam was a great friend and role model to both Tyler and Alex. His imprint on my children and everyone that knew him will never be forgotten. If our lives are measured by those we positively impact, then Adam accomplished more in a few short years than most can accomplish in a full lifetime. Our prayers remain with the Corbett family.
