To Colin's Family: WOW! What a BRAVE and INSPIRATIONAL young man!! He has done more than people twice his age! Sending our deepest condolences to your family! When the coming days become challenging, remember all of the good times you had with Colin, his laughter and his smile.

What a beautiful remembrance. It´s evident just how much Colin lived while he was here. That is the true measure of a life well-lived, although cut far too soon. My heart goes out to the family- we have our flag at half-staff here in Manchester in honor of your son. May you find the strength to get through these hard days.... And may his memory be a happy one. My deepest sympathy on the loss of your son and brother- Brenda Bertolini
