    Cory, you have been a part of my life for 52 years – I am grateful to you for raising Ron to be such a loving, loyal husband and the best hands-on Dad I have ever known. You will be missed – never forgotten – and you will live in our hearts forever.

    My memories of Grandma’s house bring me back to simpler times. Catching lightening bugs in jars, playing croquet with cousins, mastering board and card games, back porch swinging, family gatherings, pond fishing, cooking frog legs, and visiting the fire station at Xmas for a bag of hard candy and an orange are some of the memories that come to mind. Grandma Cory loved her family. She always had a table of food ready and loved to cook for us! God Bless You Grandma until we meet again❤️
