Colin was a great friend and a great person. He was the first to lend anyone a helping hand. We have never met anyone who was more considerate or nicer than him. He left a place in all of our hearts always and forever. We'll love and miss you forever.

My heart and prayers go out to those who knew and loved Colin.

Go now, my child, the time has come.

All tasks today are done.

There are others waiting there for you,

And songs yet to be sung.

Go quietly, go softly,

Leave all pain and fear behind.

Today has left a part of you

In our hearts, our souls, and minds.

I’ll remember you, Colin,

As I lay down to sleep.

I’ll remember that you made everyone smile,

Although, it makes them weep.

As you go to face your future,

As you go to touch the sky

Know that God makes all things possible,

Angels never die.

Go now, my child, the time has come.

All worldly tasks are done.

There are others waiting there for you,

And songs yet to be sung.
