Mark, Sherrie and Brittany,
Even though I personally have not met Corey, listening to his and your family life experiences brings a vivid picture to my mind of a silly and gifted young man. Having a child the exact same age and knowing so many others that same age only makes me ache for your loss of your baby. Though I see him living in you, I'm sorry I had never met him. I am so happy for you that God has sent you on a new journey, which seems to be in a far away land. He knows what he is doing, but I will miss you so much.

Mark, Sherrie and Brittany,
It's so hard to be the ones left behind to deal with the grief of a lost loved one. The strenght comes from those family and friends around you and their support. The loss of a child is never easy or fair but I hope it gets easier to deal with. Much love and many prayers to you.

Hey Corey,
I know I'm supposed to be writing in this book to leave comforting words to your family and other friends, but I'd rather talk to you. I feel like I didn’t get to do that enough. I'm really sorry we didn't get to hang out like we were supposed to. Every time you came over to our house to hang out with Warner, I was always working!! It's crazy how I didn't know you very well, but still feel like I lost one of my best friends. Although our phone friendship was fun, I rather would have been able to give you a hug to thank you for being such a good friend to us. I don't know if you noticed, but it made Warner so happy to have you back in his life. He never got to ask you, but we had talked about having you as one of the groomsmen in our wedding. For that, I will always be sad. It's not going to be the same without you there. I really regret not being able to see you on Wednesday when you came over--all week both Warner and I have felt like you are still in our house somehow. I was talking to you today and laughing because I had to carry a heavy box upstairs and I remember you saying, "Why is it that every time I come over I always have to do manual labor?!?"
I could talk about everything that has been going through my head this week and what Warner and I have talked about, but I've probably rambled on long enough. I have run over what I wanted to say in my head a thousand times this week, but can't ever come up with the right words.
Thank you for accepting me into your life without question and for being the great person you were. Thank you for the laughter and for being there for Warner. Sometimes I don't think I have the right to be so sad, since we weren't very close, but I really miss you. Life isn't fair and I only hope that this will make people realize that it can be gone in an instant and just assuming that people know how much you care about them doesn't mean that they actually do....I hope one day I can find another friend who cared as much about others as you did.

Knowing that all will be revealed to us someday. God bless and keep you.

Mark and Sherrie: We are so saddened by your loss. Watching Corey grow up in the neighborhood was such a wonderful thing. Seeing him in the garage with Mark and so happy and interested in what he was learning. He was helpful to us too and just a very special young man.

Corey, I have such wonderful memories watching you and Brit play together with Bre and Colby, working on your bikes in the garage with Wayne and Wayne, Colby and I riding dirt bikes with you and Mark. Mark and Sherrie, words cannot even begin to express our sorrow, may your memories give you strength.

Mark and Sherrie,
There are no words that anyone can say to heal your pain.
Corey was a special kid and we loved him like a son. We watched him and Bryan grow up together, we too have a loss in our hearts. Please no that Corey was a bright spot in everyones eyes and we loved when he would come over. Bryan looked up to him and respected him and thought of him as a brother.
We will never forget him and thank you for bringing such a gifted and special child into our lives.

Mark and Sherrie,
There are no words anyone can say that will help you with your loss. But Corey was a very special young man and we watched him grow up with Bryan. We loved Corey like a son and he was part of the family. We too have much heartache over this tragedy and feel a deep loss. Our prayers are with you. Bryan thought of Corey as a brother and you as his second family. We were all blessed to be a part of his life and will always remember him.

Corey was an amazing person and i am truly happy I had the chance to be his friend. He always showed so much care for everyone and everything he did. Corey was one of a kind with his love and craftsmanship and never failed to amaze me with what he could build. We all will truly miss you Corey you can never be replaced.

The last week has been filled with mixed emotions, At first I was angry and frustrated that I hadn’t spent more time with Corey and his family in the last few years. Eventually, I came to realize that sometimes part of growing up involves drifting apart from people. I now know that what’s important are all the memories I have growing up with Corey, Brit, and my brother. The four of us were inseparable. Brit and I would be making up dance routines in the pool while Colby and Corey were splashing us or we’d all be at grandma and grandpas playing hide and go seek, hide the thimble or playing on the ropes in the trees. We had the most amazing times together and that's the only thing that matters. I will miss his smile, his sarcasm and above all I will miss HIM. I am so very sorry Sherrie, Mark and Brit for your loss! I love you all and will always be here for you!

I knew Corey for a few years, met through mutual friends at the super duty shop. I always looked forward to him being at the races and offroad gatherings so we could hang out, always a good time when he was around. You'll be greatly missed by everyone.....

To my beloved cousin,
For many years we were two peas in a pod. As we grew older, we parted our seperate ways, as old friends sometimes do. Our family is what kept us together, but not as close as I would have liked. You came to see my son when he was born, and I couldn't be more thankful to have you as part of my family. I am going to miss you bud. Thank for always having my back, literally. To Mark, Sherrie, and Brittney, my family and I love you very much.

Always in out thoughts, while Corey may no longer be with us, all of the memories we have of the good times will never fade. He was a great friend to all who knew him and the impact he had on all of us will no doubt grow with his passing. Though we mourn the loss of a friend, son, brother, grandson, and loved one lets not forget to take the time to celebrate each and every opportunity we had to be in the presence of a great man taken from us too soon. My thoughts and prayers with you all in this difficult time, rejoice for all of the good memories that we have, for Corey living life to the fullest each and every day and knowing that he never had a moment to waste, from that we can all learn to be better and take away a piece of his good will and fearless attitude with us to keep in our hearts.

Corey, I didn't know you as well as most, but I'll never forget you. Most of the times we hung out was out at Dumont and I never saw you without a smile. You were always full of positive energy, the type of guy everyone wishes they had more time with. We will all miss you.

I knew Corey for a few short years through mutual friends. We became friends and shared some fun times together shooting pool, throwing darts, riding motorcycles, and just sharing laughs. He will be greatly missed. Thank you Corey for touching my life in that short time. Until we meet again my friend.
