Daddy..it's been a year now and my heart still hurts.
I miss you sooo much and it still feels like the day I found out. The devil's been real busy trying to mess us up (Your daughters), but I know God's got you, so I'm ok. I somewhat still can't believe it, its almost like a facade. I know you're right next to me in spirit, so I'm still gon' shine. Everything I do, I do for you - I Love You Daddy

October 29, 2008

It has been a long year of mourning. Yes, the struggle is over. May his peace continue to be with you. We love you and miss you like crazy. We will see you again.

COREY BLACK! I have you known you for quite some time and i cant remember calling you anything but COREY BLACK! Man i cant believe its actually almost been a year, for some reason i keep seeing the lord saying, enough jokes COREY BLACK i got work to do, and just to get that laugh you look up at him and say, "And God Said!" Full of jokes you were but you were also just a cool person! Aunt Roz you keep on keeping on, Colla(ha ha) the Lord is already working in your favor, you continue to be a warrior for Him and watch his plans manifest in your life. Corey Black i love you and miss you and i know there will come the day when we are all reunited in the heavens above and you look at me and say "you still aint got no vowels in your name!"

Hey Cuz! I Know it's been a minute since I sign this book, but I've been trying to be strong and not breakdown. I'm trying to get the courage to visit your grave site, but cuz it's hard to accept the fact that your gone. This past Derby was ok. For a moment I was thinking, I wonder what Cuz gonna get into, and then it hit me that you werent here. It still hurts cuz. The kids always ask about you. On my bad days I have to tell the kids not right now when they talk about you, just to keep from crying in front of them. I know I'm gonna come see you before your birthday, but if I could have one wish, it would be to see you rather visiting the cemetary. G finished this song called "That's just what the streets say" I cant for it to set the streets of Louisville on fire. Yeah it's gonna rattle some feather's but I know that's what you would have wanted. Love you Cuz!!!!!

This was the first time back in Louisville since your calling and i just couldnt do it, ive NEVER had Derby without you, in 21 years if you werent availible i knew you werent to far., but now your gone and once i entered the city i had to turn around and go home, i just couldnt do it, I MISS YOU SO MUCH! I know your smiling down on all your family and friends just knowing how loved and missed you are, its almost your birthday and I'll probably return for that, but I just wanted to let you know I miss you and still think about you daily. You will ALWAYS be remembered around here!!!!

You will forever be missed "Big C". Words cannot express how hard this has been to accept because you were such a huge part of my life for so many years. The bond that we shared from all the years we spent our life together and the unconditional love for eachother that we kept is something I will always cherish. I always told you how brilliant you were and that there were big things in store for you and I find comfort in believing that God felt it was time to deliver you to those bigger things. I want to share a verse that Corey wrote back in October of 2001 because I feel that if he could say anything to all his family, friends, loved ones, and all that knew him this would be what he'd say;

In closing I'd like to leave you with a small portion of a verse:

Call me the Ghetto Pastor Corey Cracc the preacher

From the brick pulpit I spit to hit and reach ya

May the spirit keep ya and the good Lord bless

Take a break from the grind playa get you some rest

I'll turn all of my life test into a testimony

And all of this mess into a message only

I stand boldly even though you stare at me coldly

I've got to shake loose I can't let this dope game hold me

Corey Cracc the Rapper

Luv u to 4 life!

Carla and Family

We love you and miss you so much baby brother. It makes us happy to see your smile through your girls. Words alone cannot express the sorrow we feel. But with God, we will make it and through the blood of Jesus, we will see you again.

We Love You!

Words cannot express the impact your love and friendship has had and is missed in my life. Daily I reminisce on how we conversed and encouraged each other through scripture, especially after sharing and witnessing on our Wednesday Bible studies. I truly appreciated your openness and patience. I am blessed to have shared so much time with you in such a short period of time.
I will continue to pray for your daughters, family and friends. May God continue to Comfort and Bless All.

Daddy,
I love you sooo much! Words alone cannot express my love for you! I didnt realize how much that I loved you until you were gone. I wish that you were still here so that we could kick it just one more time and to tell you that i love you just once more. I would give anything in the world just to see your face again. There is only one thing that I want to know and I think that will make me finally be at peace with the situation. I want to know who did it. I just want to talk to them and find out why. Daddy its just not the same with out you here. I miss calling you at three and four o'clock in the morning to tell you my problems. Sometimes it would be just to hear your voice. We've been through so much, and had so much more to go through, but i guess God seen other wise. Its been hard as hell these last two months but im holding on. Your funeral was the best!!!! I know that you was happy looking down on us. Im trying to stay strong for Kori and Naiyana but it is really hard. I sit back and wonder why you had to leave but I soon will figure out. Always know that loved you so much even though at times it seemed as if I didnt show it. I remember you always said that I should get your name put on me since mines was on you but I always said no! Little did I know then that it would take you to die for me to get it. Just kno that I miss you and I love you!!!
Love,
YA FIRST BORN!!!

Roz,
I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this dark period. I was remembering an EMS Christmas party when Corey was probably about 7 years old. He was dressed up in his little suit, and running and doing body slides across the floor in the hallway in Carmichael, where dispatch(and the party)was located. I can see that like it was yesterday! It's amazing how time gets away. Children are, truly, blessings.

Love you, Rozzie.

I have so many fond memories of you. At the time, some were great, some not so great, but now I cherish all the memories I have of you :). I was looking at pictures of us earlier and it made me smile to see you smile. You will always hold a place in my heart and I will be praying for your family (esp. your children, who I see are now young ladies :)) to get through these difficult times. May you rest in peace, Corey.

Though, I only really knew you through John (who you use to call China Man) I still remember you as being very funny, and really down to Earth. You were one of the popular cats who made U of L fun over ten years ago. Word of your passing reached me here in DC and I know John heard all the way in Hawaii. That's how far the love and respect for you seems to travel. Now I know this isn't a joking time for anyone, so forgive me for being a bit selfish, but what I wouldn't give to see you and John battle with the hillarious jokes again. That was a carefree and happier time period for alot of us. This is why your sense of humor is what I'll choose to remember about you. So the next crazy joke I hear, I'll take a moment of silence for you. Peace, brother, now and forever.

Mama Roz and the entire Anderson\Black family, words could never express the sorrow that I feel for you during your loss. Corey will be missed dearly. I'm blessed to have known him for the years that I did. From elementary days until now. The Anderson family has always been my extended family so if there is anything that I or my household can do for any of you all you have to do is reach out to me.

I’m setting here lost for words yet have so much to say. To the family he will be missed. Corey was wonderful person .I think about all the times we have shared good and bad, all the trails and tribulations that only God he and I know of. But who are we to judge. Like Corey Said "I’m on a whole nother Level". Corey was placed in my life for a reason he gave me knowledge he taught me right from wrong, street from book. He has been a inspiration to me in many ways a mentor, Big brother, room mate, even a caregiver for my child who knew of him as Uncle Corey .I will never forget Corey helping me potty train my now 9 year son (memories).Although God lead us on two different paths of life, and we could not see eye to eye all the time. I never had the chance to tell him how much of an impact he had on my life. But I can say we share a life time of memories that know one can take away. From road trips on the e way, veggie spaghetti, chilling with Anardo the great, to helping me understand me. Corey in spite of all we have been thru will always be my playa dude. He truly truly will be missed

November 2, 2007

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.Ruth Ann Mahaffey (author)

Corey, I am so thankful God allowed you to touch the life of my family. You had a smile on your face and talked about the Lord the first time I met you. Letting me know you understood the problems of being a Past's wife. A young man that came to encouraged me and my family. God was using you then and He continued to do so.

To the Family, The Lord will take care of you during your sadness. Psalms 91 let us know we have a hiding place in God and He will cover you. God is shielding your hearts today. Cherish all the good memories and Corey will be with you always. You are in my prayers

May your family find peace and comfort in the arms of God. I think we should all take comfort in knowing that Corey is in a better place. Corey was a friend of my brother's and we met through him. I remember back in the day chillin with Corey in the SAC at UofL when we should have all been in class. I ran in to him again last year when we were checking our kids in at UofL for Upward Bound. I am greatful that I got one last chance to see him and catch up on all that he had been doing with his music. He had really matured into a wonderful person! Corey was a funny and above all a kind person with a good heart. He will be missed. REST IN PEACE!

Corey,
It seems like only yesterday we were on the yard laughing and joking at the SAC during lunchtime. After seeing the many people at your visitation yesterday, it just confirms that you were so loved. Which also means you will be so missed.

Rest Corey, rest in God's arms.

To Ms Roz, David, Carla, Michael, Fuzzy and all the Black/Anderson family you are in my thoughts and prayers during these trying times. I've known and considered you family for over 25 yrs. Words cannot express my heartfelt sympathy but i will say "STAY STRONG" and "BE ENCOURGAGED".

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus

Roz, Nov. 21, 1994, you encouraged me and my family when Curtis was killed, with these words: You can make it. You can make it. This trial that you're going thru God's gonna show you just what to do. I don't care what's going wrong. God won't let it last too long. You can make it. You can make it!
To you and Carla, and your entire family, I'll echo what's been said before, earth has NO sorry that heaven can not heal. God will take care of you.

To the family of Mr. Corey Black,
I would like to send my condolences to you all. I didn't know Corey on a personal level, but he always had a smile on his face when he walked into the Potter's House. He will be missed by many. Carla, I want you to know I love you, even though we don't get to talk like we used to. Your family is in my prayers.

We go way back to marbles, 4 square, uno played on the sidewalks and bumping music in the back of our yards of phase 3( Village West). We did not see each other a lot once we moved away, but when we did it was full of love and hugs. You will forever be apart of my fondest memories growing up. God Bless you. I Love You and will miss You. Tashia and the Jones Family

Black Family,
I"am so sorry for your loss
and only those who have known
such a tragedy can truly understand
your sorrow.
Though words may be meaningless right now,
may you find some comfort
in the love and concern
that surround you from so many who deeply care.
