Don, Margo and Leiska...You have been in our thoughts every day. While there is little we can do to relieve the pain, Russ and I are sending you energy, love and support. You are a very special family and your loss has clearly reached many of us as well. We are with you.

My deepest sympathy and prayers to your family. Coby was a wonderful and unique young man. I will always remember him with a smile, as he always had a smile for others.

Jacob was a student in my astronomy class at Cal Poly in Fall 2010. We also interacted over the past two years as he was pursuing a minor in astronomy. Jacob always impressed me as a tremendously inquisitive, genuine, thoughtful, and caring individual. His gracious character is a testament to the family and friends whom he was surrounded by. Know that you are all in my thoughts.

Oh, my heart just breaks for you! I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I remember talking to Coby before he went to CalPoly the first year when we were at a party at Philippe's. There are no words to soothe your pain. Please know that you will be in my thoughts & prayers as you find your way through your grief & sorrow.
