Cory will always be with us every day by the way she shared her days and years with us rolling right into our every day way of thinking. Showing everyone she knew how to care for each other and enjoy helping one another. I will always hold dear the wonderful times we had when we visited and all the many phone calls sharing our days and just checking in. God called home a true angle and now she’s with her mom and dad wanting to help them in some way I’m very sure. Love you core and enjoy your walk and talks with Jesus.
