I am very sorry to here about the loss of your son. Our yongest just turned 21 this past Monday and am going to sit him
down and let him read this forum. I hope he gets the message loud and clear. Your in all
of our prayers and please everyone let your kids male or female read this forum. It may
help save someone else from this kind of tragedy in the future. Steve
So sorry for your loss. Count me in for a release in Cory’s name.
I cant imagine what you are going through right now-my thoughts are with you and you family.
It is times like this when I wonder why there are so many people who stopped truly “living” long ago than seem to live to 100. Meanwhile, those that are full of life are often taken early. Or why so many loving couples have so much trouble conceiving children while high school girls cant keep from getting pregnant.
Be thankful for the times you had and keep his memory alive. He will always be with you.
Also in our prayers! Our Condolences.
The chapman family

Paul

Some words sung by Steven Curtis Chapman:
“With Hope”
This is not at all
How we thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you,
We had so many dreams
Now you’ve gone away
And left us with the mem’ries of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you
But we can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
‘Cause we know our goodbye is not the end – Oh no
And we can breath with hope
‘Cause we believe with hope
There’s a place, where we’ll see your face………again.
And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God’s plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see a Father’s smile and say, “Well done.”
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
‘Cause now you’re home and now your free
And we can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
‘Cause we know our goodbye is not the end – Oh no
And we can breath with hope
‘Cause we believe with hope
There’s a place, where we’ll see your face………again.
We have this hope as an anchor
‘Cause we believe that everything
God promised us to be true.
But we can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
‘Cause we know our goodbye is not the end – Oh no
And we can breath with hope
‘Cause we believe with hope
There’s a place, where we’ll see your face………again.
We’ll see your face………….again.
Jeff,
As I read your post this morning I could feel your pain. I know we can’t make the pain go away but please remember that you are in alot of peoples’ prayers tonight. I wish I had something profound to say but all I can come up with is—I care. You, your family and Cory are in our prayers tonight and for the nights to come.

Stay strong and keep the faith!

Sorry to hear of such a tragic loss, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sorry to hear of your loss, my sympathy goes out to you and your family. I’ll do my part to catch and release as many as I can for Cory.
The big man upstairs works in mysterious ways some times. I wish I could say something that would stop the hurt, but only time will do that. Just remember, he was taken to a great place!!!! SORRY for your loss, John Mannerino
Jeff,
I would like to add my sympathies to the messages already here. I lost my Dad this past fall and have some idea of your pain. A day in the boat with a good friend helped me face the world again. When your ready we’ll be here.God be with you. Randy Anderson

Gods SPeed to your pain my friend

Jeff;
Cory is in my prayers. God bless him on his new journey to his new home. He is at peace now, with God.
I will release many fish in his name! I’m on the opposite end of things. My father of 80 years old was 46 when I was born. He is my fishing and hunting partner. He taught me everything. Not only about hunting and fishing, but also about life, when we were out in the woods or on the water. He made me the man I am today, yet I will never be half the man he is. Age is catching up with him, yet he doesn’t give up on our trips. Times are a little shorter on the water, walks are a little shorter in the woods. But it doesn’t matter. Why, because I’m spending quality time with him, JUST LIKE YOU did with Cory. Cheerish those moments, for your time on the water was “your guy’s time”. Those memories will be with you forever, and some day, you will meet up with him again, and you will go fishing again.
God Bless you and your family. You have my deepest sympathy. I feel your pain and wish you strength and courage from God.
Bless you and your family.
The Wellman Family
Jeff,
my deepest sympathy to you and your wife. As a father I can not imagine the pain which and your wife must now be feeling. I can only hope that a day will come, when you are on the water, the sun dancing off the trees as it sets, a warm breeze will cross your cheek, and you will know he is there.
God Bless you,
Tim Ingebritson
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I have a son who will soon start driving. I can’t imagine how horrible it would be to get this message. My heart goes out to you.
:angelDear Jeff, my husband Bob and I covebay guy lost our son to suicide Oct 27,96. Fishing has kept us together, as I look to a sunset or the blue water and think of him as we fish. The pain does not go away you only live with it! We would love to get together, our son was 18 and just granduated from high school. It takes a huge toll on your whole family. Please write us anytime. We will release for your son with prayers, please do the same for ours. Bob and Bobbi alias Bob Cove Bay We are lucky for our angels in heaven to watch out for us.
guy. God Bless and Gods Speed!!!
Jeff, There is little one can say that will ease your pain. I work in a line of duty that surrounds me with death and suffering on a weekly basis. My experience has taught me that no two people handle it the same. Keeping trust in your faith may be difficult at this time, but it is that same faith that will see you through. Surround yourself with family and friends for they will serve as your strength when you have none left. Even if you don’t feel its necessary, I’d strongly suggest talking with others who have traveled the road your currently walking. You’d be suprised how many people out there are waiting to serve as a moral crutch. Be assured that prayers for Cory are raining down on heaven from all of us. Like others here, I’ll always have a lending ear. Best wishes and God Bless.
This is a post that we don’t ever want to see or hear of. A father who has spent 21 years raising a fine young hunter and fisherman to be a good man, and now it has all been taken away. I am very sorry for your loss. I believe that you see many people care about you and your situation due to the heavy load of responses. You will be prayed for.
My sympathy goes out to you and your family.
