Laurie you have been in my prayers all week. My family of friends have been praying for you too.
   Know you are loved my friend ! 

 Joe VanEss my condolences to you also on the passing of your son Jory. My prayers are with you all.

I didn’t know most of you but for the past year and a half I sat and worked at the desk across from Jory.  In that time I came to know him as extremely ambitious, I rarely beat him into work, even at 7 am and he wanted to do every job he could.  He would tell me about endless plans that he had and they always changed from week to week.  He had a thirst for knowledge, always asking me him to teach him more and posting my notes on his wall.  He could make me laugh in an instant with any of about 1,000 inside jokes we had, a funny voice or a well timed fart joke.   He was very caring, I mentioned I had cold feet one day, next day he gave me a pair of wool socks, slightly worn.  He talked about his family and friends often, I feel like I know so many of you.  Our last conversation was about how excited he was that his new place, Lydia moving up and possibly his sister moving in with him.  I told him to be careful and have a good weekend, I’ll see you soon.  I wish there was something more I could have said or done but I consider myself a far better person for having known him for a year and a half and he changed me for the better.  I can’t imagine your sorrow but will keep you and him in my thoughts and prayers.  If there is anything I can do please do not hesitate to ask.  Take care. Andy Rusnak

Laurie, Quinn & Griffen....  my (our) heart breaks for all of you and Jory's extended family.  Words cannot express how truly sorry I am for you.  May your memories, love, prayers, family and friends get you through this difficult time and everything in the future that Jory will be missed at.  He was a great kid and this is a terrible situation/accident.  WE are her for each of you if you need anything.  Again our deepest condolences.  Love, Angie, Cassie, Caitlin and Cara.

Laurie, Joe, and family, I can't begin to express my sadness. I can pray for you during this time, though. Kim Savoie

I am so sorry for the sudden loss of your son.  I had never met Jory but family members who knew him and worked with him talked about him with real affection.  My prayers are with you.

Many happy memories of Jory and Konnor playing sports, keeping active, and just hanging out having fun.  It was always nice to have him come over.  I am so sorry, Laurie.   I pray God gives you and your family peace, comfort, and strength as you go through this time and until you meet again.        Kathy Kubacki

Our heart felt prayers are being lifted up to God’s ears on your behalf. Jilayne & I are praying and asking God to send His Spirit to your home as you walk through this valley. Know that He is with you ALWAYS. God bless you & your household. 
Love, Jamie & Jilayne

So many memories of you and Nate hanging out in the yard playing soccer or doing nothing.  Jory, you were big brother Cassie never had but needed and you were there for her when she walked through hard times. You overcame so many challenges in life but were never a victim. You will be dearly missed.

Prayers for grace and peace for you and your family during this  difficult time. May God hold you in his loving arms. 

Steve and Vicki Kane and Family

I never met you, Cory, but I know you made my cousin very happy. I'm so sorry you will never be at our Thanksgiving table.

My prayer for comfort and peace for you:
Comforting God,
You have promised that you are near to the broken-hearted. I ask that Laurie and her family might sense your peaceful presence with them in these days and weeks ahead.
May they find comfort as they remember the happy memories they shared with Jory. May they find comfort and glimmers of hope even as they look to the future. 
May they sense your arms of love holding them. 
Amen

And until you meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand

I worked @ Lowe’s with Jory...he was always so positive & such a hard worker! I am so sorry for his loss & send my deepest sympathies to his family
