Flowers for Cory

I asked for a bouquet out of the garden and I was presented with a beautiful mix of colorful flowers grown by my Dad.  In the car I told Mason we were delivering flowers to Uncle Cory.  Mason has never met Cory as he died before Mason was born. 

Cory was my Brother Mike’s best friend who passed …
