Remember Corey Always Corey was a good man that went through a lot to get to the point of happiness he had in his life. I am thankful that he was in my life and very thankful for the happiness he brought to everyone especially Michelle, Maddy, Jeff and Hailee. Things happen for reasons we will never understand. Corey was sick for years and the day he got the call for the transplants and then things seemed to be going in the right direction., Just maybe that was God's way of sharing him with us just long enough so he and Michelle and each of their kids could grow as a family together to bless his daughter Hailee with a wonderful family and friends to keep forever. I know because of that we will all keep Hailee in our lives.. Always. There is nothing we can say or do to take a way any pain we are all feeling, but we can pull together and keep his spirits alive by remembering what kind of Man, Father and friend he was to all of us. I as well as everyone are filled with anger, sadness and questions like WHY? Why Corey? We will never know. The night before he passed he came to my house after a few hours of shopping and fighting the crowds to pick up the girls, he had a tired look as you would expect and we looked at each other and smiled and I said "we will be doing this for many years see ya later" Later will come, it may not be tomorrow but I as well as everyone that knew him will see him later because there is no time frame on later. I will always remember Corey and Corey will be remembered by all who knew him. Your friend always
