To the family of Corey, I am so very sorry for your lost. Corey was so excited about getting married and making sure my husband and I was going to be at his wedding. It is so hard to believe that he is gone. My heart is still bleeding with the lost of Bone and now this. My brother was killed on August 3, 2003, so I understand your lost. I can say everyday it gets a little easier to deal with. When you watch these young people grow up you can only pray for them. Corey use to spend alot of time at my house with my sons (Struggle and EaseBall). If I hurt like this I know what you all are going through. Corey has never gotten over the lost of Bone. At least we know that they are together. Again I am so very sorry.

To Chandra and Family: Chandra, I really don't know where to start. First I can start by saying that I'm sorry for not keeping in touch with you like I should have. From the time that I meet you I know that I had a friend for life. After meeting you, that's when I had the chance to meet Corey. Chandra, from one friend to another if you have faith and believe in God, HE will bring you through. So when it seems as if you are not going to make it, just ask God to give you the strength to help you to be strong for the you and the kids. Everything happens for a reason, so just count this as a blessing because things could have been worse. Words can't explain, I can't say I know how you fell cause I never lost someone that was as special and meaningful as you and Corey were. Chandra keep your head up, be strong for the kids. If you ever need a friend Chandra, you know that I'm here no matter what time it is just call I'm always here. Trust in God he will bring you through these rough times and don't give up for you will see the sun before the rain. I just wish that you would have had the chance to call me earlier, I apoloize for not being able to make it. That doesn't mean that I want be able to be there whenever you need me too. Chandra be strong please remember keep the faith and God will pull you through.

Corey, I just want to say that I miss you soooo much. I know that we didn't hang out that much but every time you would come around you made my day. You had such a big smile and you always gave me a hug when we would see each other. I thought of you as no less than a brother and that's how it will always be. I know you're in a better place, and God has taken away all of the pain that you were going through. You will be greatly missed, but untill we meet again I Love You and RIP.

I met Corey on May 8, 2002 when I interviewed him for a job with Graphic Packaging. During that interview Corey told me he was hard working, dependable, trustworthy and respectful. He expressed an interest in coming to work for us so that he could provide a good life for his small son and be the best he could be. Well, Corey more than lived up to those words. He turned out to be one of our best employees. He was highly thought of by all of his supervisors and made many, many friends during the two years he spent with his Graphic family. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this very sad and difficult time. God bless you.

He was very cool with everybody, he will be missed by all and never forgotten, Pootise I know that you are hurting very much, but stay strong for you and Corey's children as well as Ms. Diane. When I heard the news about Corey, it shocked me, but now he is in God's Care, God is taking good care of him. No one can question God " Why " he took Corey away, but we can thank God for the time that he allowed Corey to be here with us.

To the Atkins and Brandon family:



I am truly sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. The shock of bereavement affects different people in different ways. Unreasonable as it is, I understand that most people's immediate reaction is to think, "if only..." and because your loss was unanticiapted, it would be surprising if you did not feel overwhelmed by various feelings and emotions aside from grief.



Suffering comes to us, not to make us sad, but sober; not to make us sorry, but wise". When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight". (Quote from Hahlil Gibran)



Please know Atkins and Brandon family, although I cannot fully experience your pain, please be assured that you are in my prayers. Through it all, may you find strength and courage from God's word The Bible.



If you need anything Pootsie, we're here for you and the kids.

I know you are in a better place, paradise, waiting for all your friends and loved ones to join you.

It's hard to believe you're gone, it seems like just yesterday we both was siting at Grandma house talking about how big each others head was. You left me without saying a word. I Know that it was your time thats why I can't question God why. I know that you are probably looking down telling me don't cry but its hard. The tears I cry are for all the good times we had together. Yea, its going to seem a little funny not having you around to talk about my head or to give me that big cousin talk when I'm acting up. I know one day we are going to meet up and smile and laugh again but until that day come all I can do is wait. Aunt Diane, Uncle Donnie, Tomeka, Tanya, Mannie, Donte', Pooh C, lil Corey, and Cierra I will be praying for you and call me whenever you guys need me, RIP COREY
