Corey was truly an angel here on earth. He always had a smile on his face that lit up the room. Corey I will always miss you. Thank you for helping me and my bud Kathy stay friends, without you making us sit and talk we wouldn't be friends today.Kory Grant
Corey,U will always be a person I graduated with I will never forget. From football to just hangin around JHS, the times we shared together will never be forgotten, erased, or duplicated. I know God had his reason to call you up to him so quickly. I try not to second guess God because he always does things for reasons sometimes we don't even understand. Corey I know you are in a better place enjoying yourself to the fullest just like we did in school. I miss you Bro I love you and keep shining down on us.
Kory with a K and Corey with a C.
