Wud up dude...LOL...I think I say 'dude' more now that I ever did.

Oh, my dearest Cory...what to say...what to say??? There are times when our pictures help me to not think that our times together and you being in mine and Felicity's life wasn't just a dream. That our children playing together and laughing together was one of the things that warmed my heart. That our times together at the pool and so much more I hold so close as not to loose those memories. I never knew two people who could sit for hours and not say a word in complete silence and know what the other person was thinking, that there was no discomfort in the silence between us. (This is really hard)
There is not a day that goes by and I don't think of you 20+ times or want to pick up the phone call and say, "guess what dude" or "Cory, I love you." St. Pete is just a place full of memories for me, I grew up there, but the best memories are the St. Pete years I spent with you in my life. Cory, do you see now how much you were loved and are still loved, that you did leave a piece of YOU with everyone of your loved ones? I miss you tremendously and I WILL do what I PROMISED!!!!!
So, you...our pictures will remain on my desk and out at home, my drawings will remain on my walls, the tatoo (your name) around my ankle will be taken care of, and my love and the piece of my heart that has you tatooed on it will remain strong.
Thank you for EVERYTHING...and thank you for my memories. Felicity sends her love...as you can see when you look down at us...she is getting to be beautiful and big...as are Ashlynn and Colin. We miss them...TERMEDOUSLY. I don't know what else to say...I don't even know if what I have said has made sense.

I love you
Arce Cola... :-)

Cory, it's been 1 year 7 months and 2 weeks since you've been gone. It seems like an eternity knowing we'll never hear your voice, see your smile and snuggle into those big hugs and kisses. I want to thank everyone that left a message in this guest book. I just found it today. When Cory would walk into a room, it would light up and come alive.

Mark,

Bob and I have just gotten to know you through the Doo Wop Daddies and we have found you to be a most wonderful and talented person. We especially like it when you sing "Gloria". We are very saddened by the news of your son Cory passing on at such a young age. I am sure he was as sweet and kind as you are Mark. You have our love and prayers.
