PRECIOUS MEMORIES

I just had to share this pic of our Brittanie and her sweet hubby Cory.

They were married on September 17, 2005 and are very happy.
They have no children yet but have been talking about trying so we're
all very excited about that.
They attend church at Faith Temple Penticostal Church of God in
Duncan, Oklahoma and are both very active and involved in their church.
Cory runs the sound system and Brittanie sings in the praise and worship team.
They're both active and participate in youth ministries.

They have many friends and are always involved in activities and sharing
good times with those friends and love them all very much.
They are both also very rich with family and are always helping do what they can
when they can for their families.

Brittanie loves visiting with friends and family and she's always making the rounds
to everyones house checking on them and making sure everyone is ok.
She loves singing (it's her biggest hobby and joy), cooking, and helping anyone she can.

Cory loves being with friends and family. He loves fishing, hunting, and all sports.
He works a lot but when he's not working he's always busy doing something.
He works as much as possible with the church or members of the church.

They are both very special and we love them so much.

THEN:

One day Brittanie was waiting for Cory to make it home from work, it
was a Sunday and was homecoming at their church.
She was rushing around getting ready but couldn't reach Cory on the phone.
She calls everyone she can think of to see if they've heard from him but no one had.
Cory's parrents knock on her door they can't reach him either, now the calls start
going out everyone is looking for him.
Then another knock on her door and a uniformed man stands outside.
There's been a accident Cory didn't make it.
WHAT!!!! we can't believe it, it's not true, not our Cory, it just can't be.
Devistation sets in HOW? WHEN? WHERE? WHY?
No one can breath, tears flow like water, everyone's gathering, so many people,
Brittanie in shock, we all huddle together in the yard and wait for reasons, pray for answers!

Answers start to come in bits and pieces, Cory was driving to the next job his boss in truck with him.
Another truck is coming straight at them Cory swerves to get clear of the truck but it hits them head on.
We wait for reports on how it happened and why.
The answer comes the other truck driver was at fault.
HE WAS DRUNK!!!
Driving a big truck and drunk! It's not fair why our Cory!

Our sweet son Cory (not our son in law he was our son) was gone.
Taken from us at the age of 26, such a wonderful man and sweet spirit snatched
from us by a drunk driver. No, it doesn't make sense, No it's not fair, No we don't understand.
But it's our loss to bear and something we still work to get through on a daily basis!

PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF EVERYONE YOU LOVE AND WHO LOVE YOU AND ALL
THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW YOU AND YOU DON'T KNOW
PLEASE PLEASE
THINK!!!!
BEFORE YOU GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A VEHICLE
DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE
