Dear Chad,
My thoughts go out to you and your whole family. In Judaism we say, "Zichrona l'vracha" - may his memory be a blessing. May you and his mother brothers carry his memory and his love and creativity with you always.

Dear Erin, Chad, Zach and Josh-
Words can't express how heartbroken we are for your beautiful family. Colin was blessed to have such dedicated parents and loving brothers. Although he has moved on his love lives with you all forever. So sorry for your loss. The Gowan Family

I've had the pleasure of knowing the Muilenburg's since Zachary first visited us in 2001 for his first dental visit. Colin showed up for his first exam in 2003. Joshua brought up the rear in 2006. There are no words that can give the Muilenburgs any solace, but I was brought to tears in reading and re-reading their kind and thoughtful review of Colin's wonderful life and how he made such a wonderful impact on all those he met. I only knew them in my office setting, but I could see how special all of the boys are. My heart and condolences go out to the Muilenburgs and wish them strength in enduring their loss.

This is one of the most beautiful celebration of life articles I have ever read......what a beautiful young man and soul, everything the family shared about his life and personality so giving to the reader......he was meant to be on this however short term...his eyes were wide open while here.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Our hearts go out to all of you during this very sad and difficult time in your lives. We cherish your family and all of the experiences that we shared with you and your boys over the many happy years at Country Oaks School and beyond. We feel blessed to have been given the chance to be apart of your lives and to have experienced Colin's bright smile, inquisitive mind and creativity watching him blossom from a shy child into the amazing young man that we were so proud to see that he was becoming. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Dear Erin, Chad, Zack & Josh: Words can't describe the sadness of losing Colin. Everyday we watched the three brothers from across the street swinging on the tire, playing basketball and football, and walking the dog. We will never forget when they all voluntarily helped a neighbor (us) in time of need. May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times. Colin will be missed dearly. Our prayers go to you all at this difficult time. The Jagirs

Dear Erin, Chad, Zack and Josh,
Nothing, absolutely nothing, can prepare a mother, father, brother or sister for the devastating loss of such a beautiful soul. Who knew that you could actually feel such a hole in your heart, but it is real. I am so sorry that you have joined the club that absolutely no one willingly chooses. Take each day and give yourselves ample time to figure out how you will move forward. You will eventually be able to breath again, to swallow again, find a smile appearing across your face... Colin's life here with you will always be relevant. Alex and I keep Niko alive through our love, actions and music. It is a new life journey and our hearts are with you.

What a beautiful tribute to Colin. He was such a clever boy and so imaginative - Dean always appreciated his presence at their group playdates. From the neighborhood to school community to friends - everyone was blessed to have crossed paths with Colin.
