My heart breaks for you and will continue to forever, this is something no parent should ever have to go through! I am praying for you and as I keep telling you my phone is always on. Nicholas’ world is rocked right now as are many others and my driveway will never be the same without those 2 jamming and playing ball. The outpouring of support and love you have shows you how much he impacted so many peoples lives. He is your world, your main man and no one will ever change that! Corey you will be missed beyond measure, rest easy and watch over your mama and all those who loved you so dearly. Until we see you again, we love you!

To Melissa and family so sorry for your loss I remember Cory when he was such a small kid visiting his Dad at his Grandparents Celestine and Amos. He was such a bright kid, he will be missed by all he touched. May he rest in Gods Arms.
