To the family of Mr. Tarpley I would like to extend my deepest and most heartfelt sympathy. I had just arrived in Va to see family when I witnessed the aftermath of this terrible accident while driving by. My heart goes out to all who knew and loved this man. I am truly sorry for your loss!!!
I too am sorry for your loss. My boyfriend and I also passed by the scene around 7:40pm. It was not a pretty site to see the bike way off to the side from where he was, (I can still see him in my mind). I am very sorry for your loss!! I too prayed for the family and friends! You will continue to be in my prayers! May God Bless you all!

From The Taylor Family to The Tarpley Family,
Cory was a wonderful person, we enjoyed having him in our family the short time God aloud him to spend with us. His last hours were enjoyed working on my daughter’s car, playing cards, grilling food, joking with our family and friend. I will personally miss him for the short time we’d dated, I want to thank Mr. and Mrs. Tarpley for having him, and me getting to know him. My heart ache bad, I can’t think nor eat. i miss coming home from work and him not being here to talk to. I miss him dearly, he was the boy friend I ever had.

To the family of Cory. We live nearby and I passed the scene of the accident with my daughter and we were wondering about all the police cars. We did not see Cory’s body at the time, but we learnt the next day about this tragic accident. Our sympathies are with you. May his soul rest in peace.
Corey we miss you
To tarpley family, May God be with you
My heartfelt sympathies go out to Corey’s family. My young son’s and I happened upon the crash at about 7:05 immediately after it happened. My boys are 12 and 10 and while I told them to close their eyes because I knew it was going to be bad, they did not and saw everything. We were all very upset and my sons are still talking about him. I drive past the scene every day to and from work and I see all the wonderful flowers and other items people have left there. We did not know Corey but he has touched our lives. God bless Corey and his family.
To Coreys family, friends and to all who loved him my thoughts and prayers go out to you all. My mom and I were driving home from the beach that Sunday night when I witness the aftermath of this awful tragedy. There hasn’t a day gone by that I keep thinking of what I saw,I went back up said a prayer and left. My hearts go out to you all! ..
