Dear Corey,
Hey sweetie pie. We miss you so much. Andy is doing better than I thought.
I know that we talked about heaven, and that we all would be okay if one of us
passed away, because that person would be in heaven with Jesus. But it is hard
without you here with us. I have to tell you, you little stinker, I don't think it is fair that you
get to kiss Jesus before we do. Honey, I still have your homework that you left on the table
on the day we went to the hospital. I will finish it for you. I am sure Mrs. Keep wouldn't mind.
Sweetheart, I am making this web page for you, because I want people to see you as you were. I made sure to tell them how much you loved praising God, and that you accepted Him in your heart when you were 4 years old. Oh Nicky, we love you so much, and it is very different without you here. Andy is fighting with US now, and not you. He talks about you everyday. I know it has to be hard for him. You guys were like one person; you were together all the time. The second night home without you, Andy went and laid down in his bed.
I asked him if he was okay, and he said "no mommy" and he stuck out his bottom lip, I said, "you miss Corey, don't you honey?" He said, "yes" and began to cry so hard... it broke my heart.
He yelled out "I miss Corey SOOO MUCH, He Hates me AND he is NEVER coming back!!”
Daddy came in the room, and we both put our hands on Andy & prayed for God to
give him peace. Andy fell asleep, still whimpering for you. We just miss you.
Please talk to God about the dogwood trees we planted as a family, ask Him to make them grow, or we will have two dead trees sticking out of the ground. Daddy and I just don't have the heart to pull them out if they die.
(Update 2004… your tree is growing, thank you God)
We remember the time you saw a half dead tree, and said, "mommy, look how pretty that bush is" You saw the beauty in it when we didn't, and that touched our hearts so much. I can only begin to imagine how much beauty you are seeing right now. Oh.... one day.... I will see you again, and honey... what a glorious day that will be!
I will remember you always!
Your mommy loves you so much baby! Only God could love you more, Love Mommy

POEM FROM COREY'S MOM
October 19th, 2005 - I woke up in the morning and wrote this poem as I thought about him being in Kindergarten his last days on earth. He used to give us the "I'm about to cry any second if you leave me here in school" look:
We took you to school and you gave us "the look" that made us cry,
We slowly walked away smiling as we dreaded to say goodbye.
You sat alone at the table wondering what you will do,
Will I do puzzles, coloring, tape or glue?
We watched you play at the playground each day,
You waited your turn, found your brother and began to play.
Your day was through & the bus ride was fun,
You're back home & I'm glad to see you son.
Just six years old & wise as can be
from God the father. Son, tell Him hi for me.
I miss you so much and your twin, Andy, does too
We miss you on opposite day and that your favorite color is blue.
Corey, sweetheart, you went so suddenly to be with The Lord,
I am thankful we both know him, we are in one accord.
I asked him about healing you son & the sickness to get rid,
I stopped crying and talking to hear these words, "I did".
A Poem From Corey's Daddy- Rob
I search for you day and night, yearning for gain to hold you tight
I search for you everywhere, I see the things you held so dear
My heart is aching to the the point of breaking,
I wish it was all a dream and I soon will be waking
Memories of you flood my mind, the dancing, laughing and singing to remind
The smile you wore on a face so bright, reminds me everything will be all right
The hearts you touched, the minds you changed, they will never be the same
More than 23 that I know, accepted our savior who loves us so
The legacy you left behind always there to remind
You are my inspiration to carry on, I am so blessed you are my son
My son you will always be, there with God and Andy with me
Your mother, brother and I will carry on, praising our Savior until He comes
If we die before that day, everything will be okay
Together again we will be... Together again... For Eternity!
