I am sorry to hear of the loss of your little boy. I do know the pain and anger you are feeling right now. I gave birth to twin girls in June and lost one soon after they were born. It is the most horrible pain you can feel when you lose a child. I know my daughter is watching over us just like your son is watching over your family. Just reminder your family has a special guardian angel and also know that one day you will see him again!

Billy Jean & Family -
My heart reaches out to you during this sad time. There is no explanation, other than God needed another angel and you should try to take comfort in knowing that he chose yours. Colin will always be smiling over your shoulder. You and your family are in my prayers as you walk through the days ahead and work through your tremendous grief. With deepest sympathy,
Kari

Please except our most sincere sympathy for the loss of your precious child. It is our hope that you would allow us to help you and share in your grief. I hope you can take comfort in gods words when he praised children for their innocent faith “for so is the kingdom of God” and we hope you can find peace in that all children are created in Gods image. Take comfort in knowing that you will see Colin's smile very soon and he will know you in place where there will be no grief or suffering. May God bless your family.

How do Angel's get their start? We know Angels are close to us and every now and then, when we need them, they help us. Angels are good and necessary in a world where so many bad things can happen. God was with Colin so he wasn’t alone. He took his hand and they peacefully went to heaven together. God's newest little Angel is very special to you and forever you will think of him and know he is safe with God. He is beginning a new life of peace without suffering and you can look to him when times get rough and smile. The world needs Angels and so do we. We celebrate the beginning of the life of an angel, your very own Colin.
