Cori

This is a picture of my brother Rocky with his step-daughter Cori.  Cori passed away on Boxing Day after a long and courageous battle with cancer.  She was only 26.  She had been in our family since she was 5 although as things deteriorated between my brother and her mom, we did not see as much of her as we would have liked.  She was a beloved big sister to my niece Samantha and an Aunt to Emery.   She will be sorely missed.  Although it is inevitable, I can't imagine losing a sibling.  I'm very close to mine.
