Man I just finished my second year of law school. The Lakers are getting ready to play the Denver Nuggets. Bro, I think them boys are going to actually win it all. Lebron might be the GOAT now and we can't deny it bro. He is the all time leading scorer ....who would of thought that! Man you were just on my mind today man. I was thinking about when you was at my crib when we were little and you ate all them donuts. I miss you man.. still do not understand your departure, but hopefully one day I will. I know you got the angels rolling with your crazy self boy. R.I.P

Corey, you were my best friend and I know over this past year we drifted apart. It's a lot of things I wish I could have said to you man. Life is just so short, and you never know when God will call his child home. I miss you man, and I wish could joke around and just laugh with you one more time. Hey man, Lebron is still on our Lakers, and we are trying to get Kyrie now. I know that something you would have already been on top of. I love you brother and I miss you, and you live through me brother. I won't allow for you to be forgotten; you spirit lives on. Rest in peace my brother.

Blessings to the family. Class of 2013
