There's a pain inside when one of us passes on from this life to the next. We are truly connected by our spirits in life. I love you Sam "Big Time" Corley III. We made some great music together. God bless you and keep you Michelle.

To the entire Corley family: I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Sam. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time - may God comfort you and surround you with love! I am sorry that I will not be able to make it due to having a 1 month old baby, but you all will remain in my thoughts today. Take care!

I used to be the Door guy/ Security at Bourbon Street. Sam was a True Friend, and always brightened my day when he walked thru the door. We became very good friends and I always Loved to hear him sing and Play.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Corley family, Sam was a wonderful, and funny man, he was always there with smile and a laugh to cheer you up. Although you will be miss greatly; I know you are now in the arms our heavenly father and we WILL see you again soon. Sam I'll see you on the other side!

Mandy,
It was a pleasure to meet your dad I admired his attitude as he faced his illness, he was determined not to let it get him down. We don't always understand the plans God has for each of us, but we know His love and grace will always be there for us through all our trials and pain.
May your dad rest in peace and you and your family keep him in your heart and chersh the memories you created together.

Uncle Sam... You have been an inspiration to me in so many ways. I know I didnt get to talk to you as much as I would have liked to or see you as much as I would like to as well but you were a very talented man with a heart of gold. I can see you playing piano up in heaven now with Grandma and Dad right next to you singing with Jesus. I am so happy for
