Corey Richens' Friend

I was reading it, and I remember I just was in tears, and I thought, like, this is perfect for your family.

It just seemed perfect.

And so I was just baffled at how she even had the time to do that.

We just had a really good core group of friends, and I mean, the text we'd get every weekend was, hey, where's the party at?

And then we also played sports, and then we were in the same classes together, and we just kind of evolved from there.

She was a tough cookie.

If anybody said anything wrong about us, you could kind of always count on Corey to handle it.

Corey and Eric met when Corey was working at a Home Depot.

Home Depot paid the best.

It was brand new, it was in Park City, and it paid really well for cashiers.

She was a planner, and that was her plan.

Corey was everything you'd probably want as a mom.

Eric really, he was a dedicated dad.

My last memory of Eric was me in their living room playing soccer with his son.

You know, and Eric was sitting in his chair, like sitting back like this, giggling.

While his son kicked my ass in soccer.

You know, and he was really proud of it.

I learned the news about Eric passing on March 4th through a phone call.

Why?

What happened?
