RIP CORY
CORY HERBERT
Remembering your life today Cory, R.I.P.
Sometimes, even the best of us are taken much too soon...
Today I am saying goodbye to a childhood friend and an amazing person.
Growing up together you never think that person would just be gone one day so young.
I don't think it's truly hit home yet but I know it will today at his memorial.
You were a good kid & an awesome man, Cory...You'll always be in my heart.
I'd like to believe Cory left our world how most of us hope to, peaceful; for the most part doing the things he loved in life. I know he left all of us doing those things he loved and living the life with the success we all strive for at this time.
I leave you with some thoughts I believe Cory would want us to live by…
"Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Whatever we were to each other, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the way you always did.
Put no difference in your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed,
At the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think, and pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
That it always was.
Let it be spoken without affect, without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you,
For an interval,
Somewhere very near,
Just around the corner…
All is well."
“In the midst of our lives, we must find the magic that makes our souls soar.”
“Judge nothing, you will be happy, Forgive everything, you will be happier, Love everything you will be happiest.”
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the things you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.”
