We would sincerely like to take this opportunity to thank all who attended and helped with Corey’s celebration.
From the folks who mopped the floors, did dishes and cleaned the toilets and everyone in between.
Mary for her planning abilities and calming a distraught mother with crazy phone calls. Robb, from Clipper Seafoods, for making the trip and delivering a beautiful message along with reading a couple of tough letters. These two were fishing the Berring Sea when they heard of Corey’s crossing. Thank you Sam for keeping Gruff safe and on the boat.
Christian Gruff Leatham who loved Corey like a brother for the true and unbiased story of his best friend and partner in crime. Captain Sam Collier for his comforting letter, making parents proud.
Shawn and Britney, for the perfectly delivered heartfelt words, meals and endless compassion. Katie for her angel voice, and Shawn for making Garth Brooks proud.
Cindi, Lenna, Sandi, Jessica and everyone else who brought in the beauty of nature with the incredible flowers.
Brendon for the amazing salmon, and everyone else who created the most magnificent feast. Corey was a lover of great food! Ron at PSR for coming to work sick to print programs, and generously donating them.
A very special thank you to Deb and Dale Davidson, Mike and Sandi McElroy, Jamie and Ken Bair for your unending support over the last few weeks. The whole crew who worked so hard at the Community Center to make Corey’s celebration so meaningful: Raite, Kate, Tammi, Jade and Megan, Jamie, Ken, Debra, Julienne and Donovan.
I am trying to recall all of you by name, but will be impossible for me at this point. If I haven’t mentioned you by name know you are in our hearts, and very much appreciated!
The very much loved Zachary and Jessica for the slideshow, pictures, music, decorations and the list goes on. Generally trying to keep us somewhat grounded all while grieving the loss of an only brother.
A very special thank you to Corey’s grandmother, Susie Cawley, who was beyond generous!
The greatest thank you to Jasmine for the living legacy of Corey: Griffin Olliver.
And to the Lopez Community Center and last but not least, Lopez deputies, fire and EMS crew, our amazing paramedics for their unending compassion and dedication to our community.
As much as our hearts have been ripped out of our chest, the community and our families have given us the strength to go on.
Corey Fletcher’s Family
