A new year (2006) Miss u  / Gaylon Muhammad (girlfriend)
Hello my special one,  It has been a pretty good year, but it's not the same to bring in 2006 without u.  We brought in 2005 with a nice bang a time I will not forget.  My days are left lonely with noone to talk to.  Your mom is really  special to me because u remind me a lot of her.  I am ready to go home sometimes i get really down n memphis.  But it is a new year and It is time for me to branch out into the butterfly that i am.  Thank u for being one of my angels being there to watch over me and helping me to stay strong in school, life, and practice.  I miss u so and I love u.:-)  Close

A Grieving Mother's Guilt-Poem  / Pamela Thomas (Mom)

God gave me my son on my happiest day,
I know the Lord giveth, but He tooketh away...
What right do I have to smile and be free,
To enjoy the bright sun or the shade from a tree.
To feel any joy, and get through my day,
To look into the future, Though each day I pray...
For forgiveness for all of the things I did wrong,
For any sadness I caused or not singing his song.
How can I have tommorow when he was denied,
Or wish for some happiness... How is that justified?
Any my other ones... How can I look in their eyes
Without wondering what will be their demise?
For, if I have out-lived a light so strong and bright,
Could it happen again without any forsight?
I struggle each day in hope to find peace
Will I dare to move on.. Will the pain ever cease?
Will my tears ever dry or my mind ever rest?
Will each day of my life be the ultimate test?
Can this guilt ever end and good memories prevail?
Will I learn from my mistakes or continue to fail?
I will love Korey forever, remember, and cry...
Did I love him enough? How hard did I try?
What could I have done to prevent such a thing?
I have so many questions, and the heartaches they bring.
Korey, now my ANGEL, which I do not deserve..
Only God knows the reason, so forever I'ss serve..

To my son Korey, forever my Angel

Keep Faith  / Gail Thomas (Friend of Mothers )
Difficult things can cause us to ask, "why did this Happen? but if we're trusting in Christ we never need to ask, " How could he let this happen.God may never reveal all his reasons to us, but he has revealed his character to us. His character assures us tha he never makes mistakes, is never uncaring, and that He never seperates Himself from our needs. May your heart and your faith stay fixed upon Him as you go through this difficult time. Be assured that He is holding your hand ans will not let go! With deepest sympathy.

Gone but not Forgotten/ For my sister-Koreys Mom  / Jacquelyn Reed (Aunt)

Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My son's voice I did hear.
I opened my eyes and looked around
But he did not appear.
He said, " Mom you've got to listen,
You've got to understand.
God didn't take me from you, Mom
He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that night,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
and pulled me to his side.
He pulled me up and saved me
From misery and pain
My body was hurt so badly inside
I could never be the same.

My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.
I love you and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby.
My body's gone forever
But my spirit will never die!
And so you must go now,
Live one day at a time,
Just understand
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand.

Love U Mom
KT

Remembering Korey  / Earle &. Marilyn Hunter (Friend)
We think of you often and you will always be in our hearts Close

A Gift from God  / Gary Thomas (Father)
On June 10 in the year ninteen eighty-five.
God and my wife gave a son to me.
A special son we knew from the start
And from that day on joy has filled our hearts.
Our teachings about values, honesty and life,
Were installed but mostly by my wife.
Our son was a blessing,
A gift from above.
His special charm, thoughfulness,
And especially his love.

His efforts and determination,
To obtain his goal.
We watched with pride
As they did unfold.
Now as a young man, and a brother himself,
his family,
Is more precious that wealth.
So remember our son,
As you open each new door,
As much as we love you,
God loves you more,

Shine Bright KOREY/ The Family  / Pamela Thomas (Mother)

Don"t Ask / Korey's Mom

Pleas don't ask...
Please don't ask us if were over it yet
We will never be ove it, apart of us died with Korey!

Please don't tell us he's in a better place
Korey's not here with us, in our home!

Please don't ask if we feel better
Bereavement isn't a condition that clears up!

Please don't tell us you know how we feel,
Unless you,ve lost your child, you don't have a clue!

Please don't tell us, at least we have more children, grandchildren!
Which one of your children would you not miss and grieve for?!

Please do say:
Your sorry for our lost
Say you remember him, share your memories with us
Let us talk about our sweet Korey, mention his name often,
Remember his birthday, Holidays and Angel date.
AND~~~~~~~~~~
Please let us cry!!!

We love You Korey

Ask My Mom How Is She  / Marlon Thomas (Brother)

Ask My Mom How Is She

My mom, she tells a lot of lies
She never did before.
From now until the day she dies
She'll tell a whole lot more.

She use to tell the truth, a lot
But now it doesn't matter.
I died and went to heaven
Her life is all a- shatter.

Ask my mom how is she.
She'll say "Yes I'm fine!
She wants to beg "Plese Help Me
I can't find that boy (Korey) of mine.

Ask my Mom, how is she
She'll  say "I'm alright".
If that's the truth then tell me
Why does she cry each night?

Ask my Mom, how is she,
She seems to cope so well,
She didn't have a choice, you see,
Nor the strength to yell.

You think you know the feeling,
But this cannot be.
For even though you loved me,
You didn't love as much as she.

She will smile and tell you,
"Its o.k. God has a plan"
But she will turn away and cry
"cause she just don't understand.

Tell a joke and she will laugh
But she is not O.K.
She wants to share the joke with me,
But it will not be today.

I watch from here, in Heaven,
Her distress disturbs my peace.
Will someone please take care of her
and thus take care of me?

"Someday you will feel better"
"Yes I will" she lies.
She know this will never happen,
Until the day she dies.

" I was so lucky!
I had him all those years"
( They passed in a minute,
I shed so many tears.)

Ask my mom how is she
She'll say, "Thank you, Good."
She cannot tell you how she feels
Oh, how I wish she could.

Ask my Mom how is she,
"I'm fin, "I'm well, I'm coping
For God's sake Mom, tell the truth
Just say your heart is broken.

Ask my Mom how is she
'"I'm well, I'm good, and you?"
I'll shake my head in Heaven.
It simply isn't true.

She'll love me all her life.
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask how is she,
She'll lie and say she's fine.

Her carnival is over
She's stepped off the carousel.
But to save you feeling, badly
She'll say thanks, all is well.

My Mom, she's not gone mad yet,
But, oh so very nearly,
Don't ask my Mom how is she,
Ask how is she, really.

I am her in Heaven.
I cannot hug from here
If she lies to you, don't listen.
Hug her, and hold her near.

On the day we meet again,
We'll smile and I'll be bold
I'll say, " Your're lucky to get here, Mom
With all the lies you told.

I love my Mom dearly.

Acceptance While Grieving  / Vonda Thomas (Aunt)

Although many of us still grieve Korey's passing, the reality is we must leave this earth in the flesh, it's inevitable.  Gary & Pam, keep your heads to the sky, there are many angels shining over you and one beams extremely bright, he's your son, Korey.

Jesus is the one Isaiah referred to when he wrote, "And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). The Prince of Peace came to Earth so that each person might have peace with God.

Korey's flesh has left us, but his spirit lives on forever - most importantly, he's at peace.  He's home with God, no more worries, no more sleepless nights - "Eternal Peace!"

Knowing that Korey is at peace, eases my mind, allows me to have unspeakable joy when I think of him, because he was truly the calmest guy I knew for a young man, Korey never worried (if he did), he didn't show it and he had a good life.  Each of us can remember something good about Korey, that being said, Korey's work was done.  His life on earth was complete, and in his passing he has bridged families and friends closer together. 

Be Encouraged Gary, Pam & Mikey , all of us loved and miss you "K. T."

Your Still With Me  / Devin Devlin (cousin)

I feel your presence with me,
even though your gone.
I hear your gentle voice,
cheering me along.
Your with me through everything,
all the good and bad,
smiling when I am happy,
drying my tears when I am sad.
You've showed me in such simple ways,
that your always here with me,
and even though I miss you,
I'm so happy that your free.
You don't feel the awful pain,
that you felt when you were here,
and how it gives me comfort,
to simply know your near.
Your always in my heart,
and I know your never far.
I just look to heaven,
because you're my shining star.

Grieving Silently  / Devin Devlin (cousin)

Why must I grieve silently,
When my heart is so loudly screaming
The emptiness I feel is consuming me,
Oh God, how I wish I were dreaming.

The silence around me is deafening
for nobody knows what to say
to comfort this agony I'm feeling
Since my cousin went away.

Each day the sun continues to rise
and the earth is still turning though my world
has come to a screeching halt
no one can ease my yearning.

For a part of me has vanished
and a part of my heart has died
and no one can hear my heartache
or feel the turmoil I carry inside.

And I'll go on grieving silently
and exist on a different plane
and I'll keep my love for him deep in my heart
until we see each other again.

                   times more lovely than lonely
May they give you the kind of gifts that never, ever end:
someone wonderful to love and a dear friend in whom you
                    can confide
May you have rainbows after every storm
  May you have hopes to keep you warm
and may you always have an angel by your side. Close

Angel Korey  / Pamela Thomas (Mom)
A thousand works can't bring you back,
I know because I've tried.
And neither will a million tears,
I know because I cried.
You left behind my broken heart
And happy memories too.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I've  needed you,
A million times I've cried
If love alone could've saved you,
You never would have died.
In life I loved you deeply,
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
No one else will ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
Part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.

Ms. Lisa Baugh  / Lisa Baugh (no kin )

To the Family,
     May Jesus Christ bless each and everyone of you all.  I pray that God bless each and everyone of you all with strength, continued prayerfulness, faithfulness, and an abundant life of many showered blessings.  Here is a poem that I ran across that I thought would give a little encouragement.

Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain,
Laughter and teardrops, pleasure and pain,
Low tides and high tides,
mountains and plains,
Triumphs, defeats, and loses and gains...
But always in all ways
God's guiding and leading,
And he alone knows
the things we' re most needing,
And when He sends sorrow or some sad affliction,
be assured that it comes with God's kind benediction.
And if we accept it as a gift of His love,
We're be showered with blessings from our Father above.
