Dear Collin,
A year has gone by without you in it....A year that I thought I would have never made it through, but I have. It hasn't been easy. Lots of tears, questions and a lot of anger, but this year I have experienced good things also. This experience has been quite a journey in what love is all about. The outpouring of love and compassion that I have felt from friends and family has been overwhelming.
Steve, the boys and I feel so fortunate that we had the last six months of your time here shared with us. We had a lot of laughs and special times spent with each of us. I believe it was in Gods plan to bring you home to us for that time.
Through this tragedy I have reconnected with people who have slipped to the side. I am thankful for that. I have also made new friends because of your passing, I am thankful for that as well.
My life isn't the same without you...it never will be. I hope you hear me every night when I tell you goodnight, and that I love you and miss you. I close my eyes and I can still hear your voice, as strong as the day we sang all the way to the airport....and i said goodbye one year ago. Your shoes are still by the back door to remind us that you are still close and very much still a part of our family.
Steve and I, Alex and Max are heading to Top Golf on thursday night in your memory, we know how it was one of your favorite places to go with friends and the boys. We will drill out a couple of golf balls and put some of your ashes in them. Alex and Max will smack them out in the field, we think you would approve.
My heart aches for you everyday Collin, I miss and love you my son......

Collin,
Your car left this weekend :( Its been sitting in the garage since "the incident" and every time I would look at it I would hope that you would be sitting behind the wheel waiting to talk. Sad to see your things leaving.
You will be happy to know that Alex is LOVING your ipod! And that Steve Taube took your 1,000's of cd's. He also knows you too well to ask where all the jackets were because you would never throw them away. Found most of them!
I miss you so much my heart aches!
I love you

Collin, I feel so lucky to have met you and so sad that I only got to spend such a limited amount of time with you. I will always remember the way that you always made me laugh. Even on the very worst Sundays and especially after a long day at work. And I'm so sorry that we weren't ever able to watch that movie..
Anyway, thank you so much for coming into my life. Like I said, I feel so blessed. Rest peacefully and watch over all of us.

Col,
I miss you so much. There are so many things I want to tell you.
Thank you for always being there for me in every way. I knew that no matter what I had a question about, whether it was how to spell something or anything political you were a phone call away and you always had the answers. Oh...and thank you for never making me feel dumb for asking ; ) Man, you were the fasted reader I ever knew! I'd be on the 5th sentence and you'd be on the 5th page! I loved the passion you had for music, although our taste was quite different. The rule we had that whoever was driving had control of the music...unless it was Dave Matthews. I've never seen your hand move so quick! I loved seeing your face the first time you tried a mushroom. It still makes me laugh. I miss your quirky sayings. I loved the passion you had for life and how you just wanted people to be happy. I miss your excitement. I loved the way that you made me look at things in a different light. I miss you so much it hurts... We all do. I Love you!

To my son,
Collin I miss you so much! I walk into your room and it still smells just like you. I never want that to go away. Steve and I read through your memory box today and just cried. You are so loved and missed.
It is 5 years today that Sam passed away. A hard day for everyone. I know that you have your arm around her and your other around Brett. May all three of you watch over me and my sisters.
I hope you were looking down during the sing along at your gathering. Pretty funny huh?
I miss you every sec of every day.
I love you

Col, I sat in your room and cried today. Looking around at all your things, notes on your dresser, so many things left undone. You had great plans, things to do, missions to accomplish. You were so intelligent...the talks we had about politics, life and how the world should be...i will always cherish. As a stepson you shared, nurtured and taught your brothers many things, for that I am grateful. Alex and Max miss you so much...i know they will use your teachings. I worry a little for them , so please keep a special watch over them....keep them safe. Your mom needs to know you are here watching, so please visit her. I wish we had a little more time...I was not done learning from you.
I sat in your room and cried today....you are missed more than you could have ever known and by more people whose lives you touched and changed.

Collin,
Well how do I start off but by saying how much i miss you. Even though i only saw you at work it was the best part of being there, it was the one thing i looked forward to...just talking and making jokes made the time pass by quick and fun. we always had the weirdest conversations and you'd always find a way to pick on me that always put a smile to my face and made me laugh. I still have that drawing you imagined and i brought to life. Im glad i had such a great co-worker like you. I always Keep you in my thoughts & prayers. Hopefully Ill see you again one day. RiP Collin i miss You!!

Collin,
Every time I smile I think of you, every time I laugh I think of you, every time I listen to music I think of you, you are the last thing I think about before bed and the first thing I think about when I wake up, EVERYTHING reminds me of you. I'm just so happy and grateful that I had the pleasures and benefits of being best buds with you these last 15 years or so. I couldn't have asked for a better person to share all the great memories with.
I never really got a chance to ultimately thank you for saving my life. I wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for you. I owe you everything. Man, I miss you bro. Hopefully one day we will meet again and start where we left off. Until then, I know you are watching over me, protecting me, helping me throughout the way.

Collin,
It's been a little over a month since you passed, and the emptiness is just as strong, if not stronger in certain ways. The pictures of you on my desk, in my car, in my gym and around the house make me happy and sad at the same time. You took a large part of me when you left. I will see you again some day.

Not a day goes by that I do not think of Collin! He was such a great person. Always making people laugh. He had one of the best personalities that anyone could ever have. I just keep remembering all the good times. Like the time he drove me to work and we got caught in the snow. You will never be forgotten! The Wolter family is in my thoughts and Prayers RIP Collin! I MISS YOU! XOXO

December 23, 2008
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Although me and Collin lost touch after highschool, I still considered him one of my dear friends. Sometimes people lose touch with eachother, whether it be through different locations or different friends or whatever. But after I heard of Collin's passing I couldn't stop thinking of the good times we had with eachother. I can honestly say that my best times growing up were with Collin in hand. If it be staying up late watching movies, skating at the nearest waxed curb, or just killing time in front of Howard's Pharmacey. Collin was there, with a smile and a sly comment. It hurt deep when he left because a part of my youth left with him. Collin, Steve Taube, Alex Keefe and I were best friends growing up and were the four horsemen of Roselle Middle. I still think about the days we were together and hold on to those moments as the best time of my life. Eventhough we ended as aquaintances, I will always remember the times we were best friends. I know Collin is at peace and I charish every moment we were friends. Lynn, Steve, Alex and Max will always be in my heart because of this tragedy. R.I.P. Collin Wolter.

Collin,
Although I only knew you a few months you left quite an impression. You worked hard at your job and you are adored by your peers still. Your guests were treated with care and respect by you and I know they too will miss you. Your sense of humor was outstanding and clever. I was proud to work with you and watch you succeed everyday. I am thankful that our paths did cross. I will miss you dawg!
YEAH! YEAH!

I wanted to send my condolences to Collin's friends and family. I attended the funeral today- I really could not hold it together. Although, I do believe his life should be celebrated because he was just an amazing person. He always made me laugh, thats for sure, and was just SO MUCH fun to be around. I met him through my ex boyfriend Sean, we hung out quite a bit for the 2 1/2 yrs I was with Sean. I always remembered him talking about music & just the funny but witty things he would say. The only thing that is keeping me comfort is knowing he is in a better place and at peace. I miss him dearly and hope that we all can find peace with his passing. Especially his family. God Bless and Collin you will be missed GREATLY.

To the family of Collin although we have never met my heart goes out to you. We also lost our dearly loved Levi age 21. We have cried and wondered why. Did we do enough? The last thing he told us I have everything under control. I know your son was deeply loved,and the memories you will cherish forever. It truly feels like your heart is broke. The memories will help you so much. His laugh and his walk is in your heart. Please know this letter is sent to with love. Your family is in our prayers. God Bless You.

I have known Collin since he was nine years old. His Mom and I have experienced a lot together and most of it Collin experienced too. He was a open, loving, funny man who adored his family. He respected people for who they were and didn't judge based on the "cover of the book". He made me proud as an adult, worried and frustrated as a teenager and laugh as a boy. And I will always remember him for his very dry wit, sly sence of humor and the ablility to love openly and always. I can only hope that my son grows to be as open to life as Collin was. I will miss him and I pray for his family to look beyond the loss and remeber the influence he will always have in thier lives every day and forever.

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
Collin, it brings a smile to know you are with Brett and Sammy......

Dear Lynn, Steve, and Family-We are so saddened and heart broken, yet it is only a tiny fraction of what you must be feeling.

Our thoughts and prayers are that you will find comfort and peace.

Collin,
I will never forget the fun that we had growing up. We spent hours on end looking at our Marvel comic cards and trading. It saddens me in a deeper way than I can explain that one day you lose your life, and the very next day a life is brought into the world. I only wish that my new son could have met you so he could see the great person that I always had. I will miss you always. Please give Sammy and Brett a kiss for me.

I can't even begin to fathom what life is going to be like without you. It's hard to say what hasn't been said already. Everybody knew you as the guy with such a funny, kind, caring, loving, witty, people person personality. You were always there for me man, I'll never ever forget all the millions of good times we shared together. All the times we spent in Roselle our stomping grounds, all the times in Chi-Town, all the times in Sanibel Island - Fort Myers - Miami, the times in Cali. We've been through everything best friends are supposed to go through, and I wouldn't have changed a thing. My life would not have been the same if I didn't have you growing up.
You will be forever missed.
I love you bro.

collin was a great kid........he will live on in your hearts and in the hearts of those of us that knew and loved him.

They walk beside us everyday,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear."

To the Wolter Family and Lynn Taylor & Family,
We are the parents of Lynn Garrett of Roselle, IL and a friend of Lynn Taylor.
We are very sadden by this news and regret profoundly the loss of Collin.
Its a parents nightmare for this to happen when us parents expect to be at rest before their children.
