Mr. Core

I lost a good friend today. Mr. Core passed away early this morning, evidently from a blood clot resulting from his recent foot surgery. Mr. Core was the music teacher at County Line, and he was wonderful. He is absolutely irreplaceable, and he will be sorely missed.

I think what meant the most to me about Mr. Core was his love for Tori. He accepted her and loved her for her quirkinesses. He loved every student that way. It's so hard to understand God's timing, and I don't presume to try, but this world is a lonelier place without Mr. Core in it--especially at County Line Schools.

Thank you, Mr. Core, for your example of love and excellence. Thank you for your Christian values and your vivacious spirit. You were an amazing human being, and I'm so sad that you're gone. Thank you for the life you lived.
