Your birthday came and ut was a hard day for me. It was july 17th , last thursday.. My pc crashed and couldnt post till today. I love you and miss you more than words can express. We are good as we can be. Dont stop playing your music. Always, mom

Good bye my sweet boy. I will think of you often and miss you always. Love forever Auntie Nancy

Today my son has been a year since you went home to be with Jesus. I miss you more than words can say. The pain is the same, just time has gone by. I have kept my promise to look after your children, they are good. Tayler misses you so much. Until we meet you in heaven, keep watching over us. I feel your presence around me all the time. Love you my son, Mom

Cory, I can't explain that "dream" I had. Sometimes I sit and question if it was real or Inot?  All I know is you w here and you watched over me and tony. I wish I had pictures of the cluster of crabs I found when I went to the beach. As soon as I thought of you a bunch of baby crabs came crawling out of the rocks to me and I began to laugh and run.  I love waking up to the sound of your voice when you come around. I LOVE YOU CORY. RIP.

Cory and I were friends back in high school, old Ridgeview. Me and him and Kenneth Woolley  and The death metal brothers Mike and Brent Landrum. We walked around like a metal band, my dad used to say that we looked like we were going to take over the world. I looked up to Cory cuz he was such a good guitar player and I was still learning. Cory always laughed at my jokes, especially the one about Nebraska. You were always the quiet and cool guy and I appreciated that especially when Kenneth would show off around girls. 
I'm glad we talked on MySpace and Facebook. I can't explain the pain.  I have a daughter myself and can only imagine the heartache. I miss you, Cory and hope to see the old gang, including Jamie, Terri, Annette and Steve; one day. 
I never made it to Nebraska, bro, but I hope I make it to the other side and see you again. 
Goodbye, brother.

I just found out this sad, sad news. I have no words of comfort because there just are no words, just heartache. I still need time to process this, but in the meantime, I send condolences. I am so deeply, terribly sorry, I can't imagine your pain as mine is unbearable. So, so sorry

Homer,Debbie,Ian and family.My heart goes out to you all for your great loss. Cory is home in Heaven with Jesus, but your memories together will remain with you until you meet with him again in Heaven. Homer & Debbie,I respect you both so much. Your boys are so fortunate to have you as parents. You are in my thoughts and prayers always,love Tara Mitchell.

Cory was my first kiss back in high school...so he will always play a significant part in my personal history. I remember him well. He was a short, cute weirdo with long hair and killer eyelashes! We used to hang out downtown with our oddball group of friends, drinking coffee at Chaos or headbanging at punk shows... laughing and making the stupidest jokes. Monumental times! Cory and I used to write our own Deep Thoughts in a notebook I still hang on to. 1994 was the best year of my high school life and Cory played a part in that. I truly mourned his passing this summer. I'm sorry Cory had to leave everyone who loved him way too soon. I will always remember him fondly. Forever!

Hello my son...I wanted to thank you for looking after Morrison and Amanda. The dragonflies and the feathers we know are from you. They now know you are ok and can move on a little easier. I thanked our Lord God this morning for all of that. We miss you so very much and everyday without you is so hard. We love you and we want you to know we know you are well and happy. We are still grieving and we are not sure when that will end, but loving and missing you will never end for any of us. Tayler is in San Diego visiting your brother and having some time before school starts. She needed this. Well my son keep watching after us. Love Mom

Dear Homer, Debbie, and Ian.
I am so sorry for what you must be going through. I had no idea until a couple weeks ago, and just found this today. I just want you to know my heart and prayers are with all of you and everyone who knew and loved Cory. You both helped me a lot as a teenager. I have never forgotten what special people you are. Again, you are in my prayers. 
 Cory, Be at peace and rock the house while your up there.
 -Corrin Bankard

Homer & Debbie,
   May God continue to comfort you, walking with you every step of your journey until you see your son again in heaven. He is dancing in paradise now :) Your friendship is a blessing to us! God bless you, Love, Ralph, FranCee & Savannah

Cory, I wish we could have reconnected after many years. We had talked over Facebook a few times and talked about meeting up a concert one day. We will still do that one day, the concert will just be in a better place. I remember first meeting you in first grade. I was the new kid starting in the middle of the school year and you were a good friend from the start. You were the first kid in class to talk to me and the first friend I had. I will always remember drawing pictures of army men against ninjas, playing with G I Joes, watching Rambo, Commando, Jaws, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Predator, playing football in the front yard, playing in the fort you had and swimming in your pool. I especially remember the trip we took with your parents and my dad to Universal Studios...I still have pictures. Most of my memories as a kid have you in them. I'm thankful for the times we had and I was blessed to have had a friend like you. Debbie, Homer, and Ian, you were all a big part of my childhood and I am forever grateful. I hope to see you all again. God bless.

Love you cuz! Gone never forgotten. I know you're rockin out with the angels!

Homer and Debbie
We are so sorry for your loss and only know that God is in control and in time will give you peace. We love you both and you have been and will be in our prayers. Xoxox

Hello son, We had a wonderful day with your son today. He spent the day with us. He talked about you a lot today. Wow being only 6 yrs old he is so smart. His questions were so well put and the answers we gave him seemed to touch his heart. We went to the movies and saw Turbo, then went to Chuckie Cheeses and played games. We love him so much and will always look out for him. Watch over us Cory. LOVE, Mom

Homer and Debbie,
As time passes may God, family, and friends continue to comfort and bless you.  Your amazing people and we feel blessed to have you in our lives.  May God wrap you in his arms and continue to heal your hearts.  We love you and are here if you need us.  

Love,

Cory, Im beyond blessed I got the chance to be with you for the past 3 or so years. Every second we spent together was just great. All the things we did together will always be remembered. The concerts we went 2, the dates we went on,The beautiful trips to the beach. everytime I think about you I think our aprt we lived in I would always find flowers and sees candy on our night stand w love letters. I remember you would creep half way from the stairs w that beautiful smile of yours and I would run upstairs and we would hold one another all night watching the big Bang Theory and Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Cory, this is not goodbye, It is only the beginning because I know I will see you again. for now your memory will live in my heart until we meet again. I love you Cory R Espinoza. W love, your SurgarButt.

Cory, I did not know you.  I never had the chance to meet you.  I know your mother loves you so very much.  I am a mother, and I understand this.  Your son is so beautiful.  He is such a character, with a very funny sense of humor.  I promise always to be good to him and his mother.  Your mother too, when I have the opportunity.  RIP

To my dear nephew Cory, how would we know that your life here would be so short. We all know that the Lord has a plan for all of us and that age does not matter.  Of course I regret that I could have spent more time with you and had got to know you and be with you more.  No matter what, the times I did have with you I will cherish forever. Will see you again, in Heaven to rejoice with you. Love, Aunt Norma

Homer, Debbie, Ian, Tayler &  Morison, I want you all to know how much you are loved! Cory is playing his music in peace, may god rest his soul! Only time will heal your sadness, but always hold on to the happy memories! Love you lots!!

Happy Birthday my son. I know you are playing music with the angels, which you loved. I miss you everyday and will love you always. Life is so empty without you and getting through each day is difficult. Only with the grace of God am I getting through it. I know your pain is gone and you are happy now. I love you, miss you and think about you everyday, all day long. Love Mom

Homer, Debbie, and Tayler; I pray for God's comfort to carry you through.

Homer, Debbie and Family, I think of you everyday, as my heart is also broken, Cory looks so much like his cousin, so glad Eric was able to be with him for the last time.  He will not be forgotten.

Debbie and Homer, my heart goes out to you in the lost of your son.  But I know whom I beleiveth that He will come again and one day you will be with him again. God Bless you both.

Debbie & Homer & Tayler,  I cannot even begin to imagine what you're going through and how difficult all this has been. Please know that I am always there for you, whether to talk or cry or even just sit in silence with.  May you find solace in your memories and comfort in the Scriptures.
You're in my prayers and thoughts.

You will be missed Rest in Peace and I have to thank you for helping me you know what I mean it was you the whole time I will always have love for you Cory with love and respect.

CORY I DID NOT GET THE PLEASURE OF SPEAKING TO YOU VERY MUCH, BUT BECAUSE I WAS PRAYING FOR YOUR FAMILY YOU WERE IN MY PRAYERS. BUT WHEN I DID GET THE CHANCE TO SPEAK TO YOU I COULD SEE A GENTLE GOOD KID THAT WAS VERY RESPECTFUL AND LOVING. I KNOW YOUR MOM AND DAD ARE MISSING YOU AND LOVE YOU VERY MUCH, SO WERE HERE PRAYING COMFORT AND PEACE FOR THEM AND YOUR CHILDREN.

Daddy, our relationship wasn't as close at it could have been but I looked up to you & loved you with all my heart. I will always remember the time we spent together. It breaks my heart when I think that you won't be here to see me graduate high school or be the one to walk me down the aisle when I get married. You taught me a lot & I think about you everyday. When I see a picture of you I cry.. but then I smile because I look so much like you. I love you Daddy -Your Daughter

RIP Cory. You are missed. We are praying for your family for healing & comfort.

You may be gone from this Earth, but you will never (and have never) been gone from my heart and mind. I have so many wonderful memories of you and our time together. You were so smart, kind, funny, weird and poetic. I still have all of your love letters and poems. I'm sorry you won't get to watch our son grow up but I promise to raise him and teach him what a cool person you were. I wish things could have ended differently... I'll love and miss you always. Rest in peace, babe. P & K

Luv you cuz still can't believe your gone. Rest in Paradise...

 Donna Kooken

Debbie and Homer I have not seen you guys since i was a teenager and i remember when i use to babysit the boys and when i seen this i started crying . my thoughts and prayers are with you all .

I have so many memories of my old friend Cory but I didn't have the courage to share at the service. I remember trading Garbage Pail Kids stickers and baseball cards (Cory always wanted the Rickey Henderson cards). I remember Cory tagging me out at second base in a tee-ball game and I felt so betrayed that I hung up on me when he called to ask if I could come over to play the next day. I remember Cory, Matt Taylor, and I deciding to dig up the neighbor's rosebush for no good reason (we got in trouble for that one). I remember sneaking into Ian's room to look for stuff we weren't supposed to have. I remember prank calling 911 and the police showing up to Cory's house. I remember playing "mit ball" during recess at Laurelglen. I remember watching old WWF tapes and the movie "Summer School" over and over again. I could go on and on.

Even though Cory and I lost touch in high school, I will always remember the good times we had as kids. Much love to Homer, Debbie, and Ian.

Please know that Corey was loved by many people. My heart goes out to his parents. We dont always understand God's plan but know that he is always with you and he does answer prayers, we just dont always know how they will be answered. In deepest sympathy,  Sue Jenkins    toottq@hotmail.com

Debbie and Homer, peace be with you, cory's children, and all his family.  XOXO

Debbie and Homer, I am so saddened by the passing of Cory. My prayers and love are sent your way. So wish I could be there to give my condolences. LeeAnn Kieke

There's his distinctive gait we shall always remember,
His baritone we will always recall,
Lighthearted times left to hold forever,
Lasting memories, his gift to comfort us all.

Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies for your loss.  My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Debbie and Homer....This is so sad.  I feel your pain and am so sorry for your loss....Linda Wright

Man I can't believe it I just found out last night. Cory was a good man, and a great friend I'm not a religious man, but cory's children who were robbed of having an awesome guy as a father, as well as Debbie Homer, and Ian are in my thoughts. I have so many memories of all the good times I had with Cory I would need my own website to list them all this is a tragic loss for anyone who knew cory, and he will be missed.
