Loved this man....

At dinner last night we were told Corey had passed away. It was like getting punched in the stomach. SOMEHOW we didn't know...Dad not being in the Stake anymore really puts us out of the loop.Corey was the Bishop I served as YW's President under. Corey was our family's Home Teacher for about 4 years when the kids were little. Do you remember that Spencer? Corey walked his talk. I trusted this man. My heart is broken for his family having to deal with him leaving so early.
