WISHING YOU WERE STILL HERE  / Mom

I'm sure you know I think about you everyday. God I miss you!!!!! I usually have a hard time looking at the pictures on this site,  even though they bring back some wonderful memories and make me laugh they also make me cry. I heard you played soccer in Costa Rica with Kelly, she knew it was you because she played like a pro. She thought it was great. As you know your sister usually can't even kick the ball without falling down and missing the ball completely (ha ha ) she is a  gymnastics girl through and through. Thank you for being with us when you can. I will take you any way I can get you even if I can't see you. I did see you once standing beside my bed,......just a glimpse but you were there. Life goes on for the rest of us......but when a mom loses a child It not only feels like a piece of her heart is gone, but the little world she created with two daughters and one son, this little world that was just hers has been cruelly taken away and then given back minus one.  It just feels out of balance somehow. My little world changed forever!!!!! I wouldn't wish losing a child to even my worst enemy!!!!!!!!!

ps... I promise to fix these pictures soon, I guess I will have to delete them and re-enter them, the are all out of focus and running weird.

I love you Cory

im sorry.  / Ariel Ziorio (niece)

I miss you so much , and i know your looking down on me and seeing me tear my life apart and i know im disapointing you and everyone else, Im so sorry.  I know if you were still with all of us , you would've made sure i stayed out of trouble or edlist some of the things i have done. Ever since you've been gone, things havnt been the same. like me and mom never talk  i havnt seen her for almost 6 months and i've only talked to her once on the phone since i moved. I miss my grandma and aunty and my brother and sister. I miss everything the way it use to be before you left our lives. Remember all the fun we used to have ? You wrestling with me and tyler, always making us laugh! Yeah we were little kids , but still it would've been nice to see you more after that. I still remember one day asking where you went? , cause all the sudden you were never there... and all mom said to me is "he needs to get his life together ariel for awhile then he'll be back." I still don't understand why YOU had to go? you were nothing but a loveing uncle! and i wannt you to know i thought the world of youu! I love you! and always will. 
MUAAAH xxoo.

Thank you  / Kelly Brannon (Sister)
 I just wanted send a warm hug and many thanks to all of those friends and family that gave love and support in such a hard time in our familys' life... and continue do so. I miss you Cory and only remember how inseparable we were growing up(sometimes not by choice, but in retrospect, I was glad to be there) You were a talented, kind hearted, a passionate go getter and always tried your best. In life that is what we all try to accomplish and you were a representaion of that... even at such a young age. I love you and know in my heart and soul that we are bound. Close

Cory, the best son a mother could ever want.  I can't believe you are not with us anymore,  I'm going to miss you so much. I'll miss that smile, hearing you laugh and your hugs and and kisses. You were never stingy with your hugs and kisses.  This tragedy has left an empty space in our family that can never be filled again. Thank you God for allowing me to be his mom for 26 wonderful years. Rest in peace Cory,  I have faith that I will see you again when God wants me to call me home.

Uncle Cory,  / Ariel Ziorio (niece)

Cory was my Uncle a very special Uncle, whom i loved so much i didnt know my uncle that much because he wasnt living around here and would only come around family get togethers, and I loved to see him.. as i was his first niece and was very close with him, i didnt realize how much I missed him when he was alive, After his death I felt that i should've told him to visit more then He did".. and eventually move back Home, for all of us wanted him to be here and  because I wanted to become close to my Uncle again. But now its to late and I must go on in life as my uncle would want me to do that, I hope that God will take care of him and that Uncle Cory will enjoy himself up there; We will Miss Him, Love him forever,And most of all Laugh At thoes funny memories.... love You so Much Uncle Coco,,

i know your smiling up there  / Tammy Jonas (Sister)
Cory, my little brother. It is so difficult to express how I feel in words, when what I really want to do is hug you. All these years have passed and in a blink of an eye were all adults, living our lives and not being as close as we once were. I wonder what year it was that I wasnt able to be the over protective big sister anymore. Man I wish we could go back to then. If I had the chance to speak with you face to face and know that it would be the last time, I would tell you how great I think you are. In my eyes you were years beyond your time, I always admired how you seen the good in everyone you met, you never spoke an ill word of anyone no matter what they did or what they said. You had such a strong yet gentle character, and true and genuine love for all things from people to animals to music. You worked hard and played hard and lived your life, even dureing hard times with a smile. Your neices Ariel, and Emily adored you. And your nephew Tyler thought you were the cats ass! ( sorry I swore mom, but I gotta keep this real!)  I am thankful for the years we did have, and I am thankful for haveing you as my brother and uncle to my children. Funny I just had a flashback of that Christmas you and the kids were playing twister at 5 in the morning. Good Times!!  I am sad that there will be no more times like that, but I feel at peace and comfort knowing your up there lookin out for us. Rest in Peace Baby Brother! Love you lots!

Gone but not forgotten  / Tina Bouchard (Family Friend )
I got to spend many years with Cory growing up and only wish I would have had the chance to get to know him as the young man he became.
My thoughts are with  you all in these hard times. When you miss him most close your eyes and feel him close to you. He is only a memory away. Keep him alive in all you remember and all you do, until the day when we are all reunited once again.

All too often things happen that seem so unreal and out of our control. My hope for the ones left behind is that you make time to lean on eachother through these hard times.
You are all in my thoughts and my prayers.

Love,
Tina Marrie
