I did not know your dad well Cory, but I know what he meant to you and that says it all right there. I am so sorry for yours, Nichole’s, and the boys loss. There is never ever a good time to lose a parent.. no matter how old you are it is never easy. I am thinking of you all often, and you are in my prayers every time I say them. Love you all so much! ❤️
