Thinking about you tonight. I miss you friend. I was reading the book you sent me when I lived in Austin with several of your notes and highlighed sentences in it and it got me thinking about how deep and amazing your mind was. To an artist like you, life was either over or underwhelming and I will forever remember, love and appreciate your ways of showing us those beautiful moments of both sides of the spectrum.

Cory, I will miss your fun loving, spontaneous and adventurous spirit. We shared many fun memories of partying and jeeping. Sarah's birthday was an awesome night! I know that you lived every moment of the short time you were here to the fullest. We will meet again, one day. Love you!

Cory, we laughed, we cried and we bled together. The summer I met you we each had reckless abandon. I'm sad to see you go but am grateful to have known you during your short time here. I will always keep your memory with me.

Cory, you were an amazing person. I remember when you came to work at STellar, I trained you. You were so nervous, but you overcame that and became a manager. You helped me out through such a hard time in my life, I can not ever thank you so much for that. You are going to be missed very deeply. Until we meet again.
