You are off to new adventures but we find you in our fondest memories.
Thinking of you today with love and gratitude for the brief breath of time we had.

Please contact me at 716-408-7828 . I was the the one that was there for pettengails  last moments

I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze.
I would rather be a superb meteor, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.

Remembering you today and always!

As long as I live, you will live.

  As long as I am, you will be remembered.

  As long as I am, you will be loved.

Dearest Corey,
it was a year ago today
When from our lives you went away

We try not to think of you as gone
Your journey in life had just begun
Although your loss is hard to bear
We wish your place is near the sun

We think of you as living still
In the hearts of the many you touched
For nothing loved is ever really lost
And you are loved so very much

Your gentle ways, your open ear
You lend to those in need
Your words were few 
But you listened well
And understood indeed

We try to think of you as only resting
from the pressures your young shoulders bore
In a place of warmth and comfort
In our hearts you will live forever more

Corey was such a perfect gentleman. On the way down he offered to go first to make it safe down a steep rock.

He always had his big brother's back.
Corey was there the night I met his big brother, the day I married him, and for the first decade of our son's life.
It wasn't enough though. 
He will always be missed by us and we will forever use his influence to shape our lives going forward.
