Cory... Cory... Cory... I am at a lost for words hearing about this. My thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends. I am a friend of Cory's from Wright State and... OMG... The memories that I have with this kid are PRICELESS!!! I think that we both helped each other and shared many laughs and stories... Both being in a chair, we learned how to create trouble and both of us were flirts. He helped me "grow" as I hope that I had influence on him too. With his love for Cincinnati sports, I took exceptions and "rolled" with it :). Cory was an amazing person and now... I have another angel (my dad) to look after me. Cory had such a caring heart and ALWAYS remained positive. I could go on and on, but there is one thing that sums this all up.... I'LL MISS HIM and please know that my thoughts and prayers will ALWAYS be with the family. May you R.I.P. kid and fly high my friend!!!! Love you gimpo!!!
I'll try to make it to the funeral, but can't promise anything because I live in Toledo and transpo is hard for me, but my heart is heavy and WILL BE with you guys in spirit especially on this day. #RaidersUp4EVER
