Almost a month has gone by and the one thing I can't get over is why we didn't say goodbye to each other the last time we were together. The one person at any family get together that would be the first to say goodbye.. and we didn't. And that was the last chance we had.

Renaldo Family,
I can't begin to say how sorry i am that this happened. Collin was an amazing kid with a world opened to him. To return to my home town and go to school and havin found this out, it was devestating. All my prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family.

Collin was such a sweet, caring, and funny boy. He always had a hug for me and made me smile, even when he and you boys were causing some sort of mischief (which you usually were whenever I was lucky enough to keep an eye on you guys). I'll keep you guys in my prayers.

Just like you, even though I was not as close to him as you all are, I am wondering how life will go on. The only thing I can think of is to remember him, and always know that he is behind you, holding your hand, loving you for eternity. Look foward to the day you see him again, he waits patiently to hug his family again.

Collin was a wonderful and terrific friend. You raised him well. Collin was the type of kid who could make you laugh whenever you were mad or annoy you and make you laugh some more. This could could say sorry and break the world record every single year for saying that word. We are all going to miss him forever and for always and we will never forget him.
With all my love,

My heart goes out to all of you in this most difficult time. Tom talks about the time he played football with Collin and what a great kid he was. He will be deeply missed by all whose life he touched. He is most definately an angel watching over you. As Tom says every night when he goes out to see the stars he names each one for all the people he has lost in his life. The first thing he said was that he has to add Collin to his list of stars. If there is anything we can do please do not hesitate to call. 337-2393.

"A thousand times we needed you
A thousand times we cried
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died
A Heart of gold stopped beating,
Two twinkling eyes closed to rest
God broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best
Never will a day go by that you're not in our heart and our soul."
Collin you will forever be loved and missed.
My deepest sympathy to Peter, Cindy, Tyler, Connor and your family. You are in our prayers.

Dear Cindy and Peter,
After just being back in Langford for Amy's funeral this is so real and sad to see you have to go through the same thing. We are never ready for this. We want just one more day, one more season, ten more years - we want forever with them. It hurts so much. The only comfort I hope to offer to you is that, knowing you, and knowing your family, you raised a beautiful young man, more than ready to welcomed into heaven with all of the people we have so loved and and are already there, waiting for him with their arms opened wide.
This is so very hard. When all you feel is the loss of him - yet know in your hearts that there are very gentle, loving hearts, people known to him, who were there to embrace him in a wonderful peace and joy. You will soon see signs of his presence - helping you, guiding you - making your life the way it should be. Easier. Trust - in seeing a flower bloom where it really shouldn't have, you will see a bird come to you and act strangely, these will be your signs that he is blessed and with you, and you don't have to be so sad. Living among the beauty of nature out there in Langford, that is where he will speak to you.
You will find a new understanding of the sorrows of others, and in your hearts you will know what to do. That is what we were created for and what Collin lived to teach us. To help and to guide. Collin will lead the way. He will lead you out of this awful sorrow into joy. It will all be Collin, telling you that he is not really gone - but that he is with you always, in his sweet gentle way. And he wants you to know that, yes, grieve, and cry, but that on the other side of that grief - he is really okay, and that he is always with you.
I miss my Amy every moment of every day. I cry myself to sleep more nights than not. I pray that these days will end. I was only her Aunt, if this is so bad for me, I can only imagine the sorrow of Eileen and Chris. But I look on her life and who she was to each of us and I know that the only thing left to do is to remember all the good she did and pray that she will guide me now that she sees God.
I am so sorry. If I could take your pain I would.
Know that you are loved.
