One can never find the right words to express at times like these. Corey was an amazing man. One of those types of people that could turn the worst days into good ones you could never forget. He was always smiling and in good spirits and he was full of big dreams. I do not remember him ever in a bad mood. My prayers and condolences to your family in this time of mourning. May God bring you peace and comfort. Blessings
