Condolences from Amanda Cortes

The First time I met Corey was in one of my Global History classes. His presence took up the whole room. He always would raise his hand, and even though he rarely did his homework he always had the right answer, and then some. I would always remember Mrs Botta-Rosa rolling her eyes when Corey would ask a question, he knew there wasn't a direct answer for, or give us a fun fact about his favorite Russian dictator. I was envious of how Corey knew all the right answers, without seeming to do any of the work. Also how he really just didn't care what any one thought of him. I greatly admired his bravery, when people snickered at his outrageous antic's, he would laugh right back. Kind of laughing at the closed kindness. The world is a much better place because of Corey Womack. His voice, his free spirit, his kindness and genuine nature blessed everyone one that came in contact with him. Even though this is a tragic time, Corey would not have wanted us not to morn his passing, but celebrate all the great things he has accomplished. I think I can say for pretty much everyone that knew him, that he touched everyone one of us in a positive way. I pray for Corey and his family during this difficult time. But I also want to thank him, for everything he has shared with us. You will be missed Corey Womack.
