Once upon a time a beautiful little girl was born.  
Her name was Cori Joy.
She loved bubbles.  She could never blow bubbles herself but she
loved watching them float around her.  
Sometimes she would try to catch them and when they popped she
would laugh the loudest silent laugh you have ever heard!
The day before Cori would have turned 4 years old,
she went to be with Jesus.  
More of her story is told elsewhere on this website.
This website is dedicated to her, our beautiful blond girl who gave
us a reason to smile,
who filled our hearts each day of her life with so much joy.
Our lives will never be the same without her.
It is our prayer though that God's plan for us will once
again include important work for His glory.
If your child has gone to be with Jesus like Cori did,
our hearts break with you.  No one except those traveling this
journey can truly understand the depth of your sorrow.
The only comfort we have found is in the caring and understanding
of other parents who have been where we are,
Most importantly, we would not have survived the death of our
precious daughter were it not for our faith in
Jesus Christ and the promise He gave us in His word that
"Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will
rejoice and no one will take away your joy"
This promise of Heaven because of His sacrifice to stand in our place
for the punishment of our sin and His resurrection are what we
have put our trust in.  We know that Cori's life and death had
eternal purpose and that one day we will hold her again,
and live with her forever.
If you do not know Jesus as your savior, and do not know within
the deepest part of your heart that you will once again see your
child one day, or that when you have breathed your last you will be
ushered into ever lasting life in heaven, it is our prayer that through
this website you may be led to examine your faith and
make a change for eternity!
