Cory Rockford Bailey

To Cory's parents, Randy and Kelli -
I was so saddened to hear of your loss and will continue to pray that the God of all comfort will hold you and heal you (and Matt) with the loss Cory.
I, too, lost my 16 year old, but am comforted to know she is with Jesus, living everything I believe.
God bless you all. Prov. 3:5-6 Jer. 29:11
In His love,

Cory, Your Southern relatives will miss you. Even though we saw you only a few times in your short life, we will miss you.

One day we will understand why you were taken from this Earth so young. We pray for your family to get through this time in their lives.

We love you Kelli,
R,J,C,M and Sarah!

Corey was just one of those students you'll never forget. As one of his youth pastors, I pray for more to follow in his shoes - the joy, the expressive spirit, the respect, the love for God. He was extrordinary. - Corey - I'll give you the same bear hug you often gave me when I see you in heaven someday!
Love you.

God love you, Cory. Joe and Kathleen were next door neighbors to your parents when you and Matt entered this world and the ensuing memories of you, Matt and Joseph growing up are so overwhelming and yet comforting at this time. We all have such fond memories of you and your family, but, Joseph put it so aptly..."he was such a good big brother, I can't imagine having Matt wake up one morning and realize that his big brother is gone". But realize that we must, but we also know that you are safe...

Reading Cory's story reminds me so much of my own son, Justin. The mission in Mexico...the skateboarding...and the love of God! We are blessed to have such wonderful children grace our lives and thankful for the time that God has allowed them to share their lives with us. My Justin is here on Earth but reading Cory's story is a wake-up call that our loved ones can leave us at any time ...but on God's time. I am so happy that Cory is a child of God! I wish Cory's family peace.

To Cory's family:
Although I don't know you, nor did I know Cory, my heart breaks for you. As a parent I know the love you have for your son in your heart and he will always be there with you. I hope you can take some comfort in knowing Cory is in Heaven and some day you will all be re-united again. My prayers are with you.
May God bless you in your time of sorrow.
