Corey, I love and miss you so much. I wish we could have had more time, but even in the short time that we were together I knew you were the one. There was never a time when you did or said something that could have made me think less of you. You had the best personality, one that every girl would look for in a man. I was the happiest girl in the world whenever I was with you. You had the most beautiful smile, the brightest blue eyes and you never once said anything negative. You were always smiling, and it was the type of smile that would make everyone smile along with you. There will never be a man in my life as perfect as you are. I can’t wait to see you again, and I hope you’re behaving up there. I love you always and forever.
Love, Rachel
I’m sorry but I don’t know any of you on here. I just read about the accident. It breaks my heart to see someone so young with so much to offer, be taken. May God be with you.
