Dear Corey,
Its been almost 4 weeks now and I just keep telling myself...this can't be real. I would do anything to have you back here with me and the family. Our hearts are aching and we have a void that no one can fill. I miss your laugh, your sweet texts in the mornings, our long talks, our arguments ....I miss you more than you could ever imagine. I know you are smiling down on all of us and you are worry and pain free But God how do I ever go on without you. I love you today and forever!

Delma - I can't begin to tell you how my heart aches for you at the untimely loss of Corey - I feel your pain - Take comfort in Psalms 23 and those special times that only a Mother and Son share - Precious Memories -

You will be in my prayers to get you through what seems to you like the darkest day -

My Condolences to all the friends of Corey - most importantly to Delma - Blake and my Argoe cousins.

Oh Corey, today has been the hardest so far and the closer it gets to christmas, the harder it becomes. I keep thinking of how much you loved Christmas and about last year when we took Max to the Christmas parade and our little Christmas tree decorating party. I wanted the tree to be perfect and was "helping max put the lights on" when he said mom I can do it - you picked him up and let him string the lights all by himself! I stepped back and watched the two of you make 50,000 trips around that tree just stringing lights anywhere - it was that moment I said to myself this is what Christmas is really about and let all you boys just have a good ol time decorating that tree. Everyone commented on how pretty that tree was and it WAS... it wasnt perfect but better than perfect because it reflected the ones I love so dearly! I only want you back for Christmas!!! I love you ...more than you will ever know!!!!

God looked around His garden
and found an empty place,
Then He looked down upon the earth
and saw your tired face.
He placed His arms around you
and lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful,
for He only takes the best
It broke our hearts to lose you
but you did not go alone,
a part of us went with you
the day God called you home.
If love would have saved you,
you never would have died.

To the Family and Friends,
We are so sorry to hear about the sudden loss of Corey. He was a dear friend to many and will be missed greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this holiday season and always.
