To Colin's family,

I wanted you to know that Colin was in my MTH 147 class last semester. A couple of times during the semester Colin came to see me for extra help. He made it very clear that he cared about his grade and wanted to do well in the class. I'm happy that I got to know Colin; he was a pleasure to have in class and always very respectful.

May the love of friends and family carry you through this time of grief.

Sharon Allen, (Colin's MTH 147 instructor)

Dear Ralph and Kelly, on behalf of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, please know that our collective thoughts are with you at this most difficult time. We are so sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Dave Milstone

Hi Kelly,
I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your son Colin. My sincere condolences.

John-

I am so happy to have had the opportunity to watch you grow from a beautiful baby, to a sweet boy, to a hard-working teenager, and then into a nice young man. You were a loyal cousin to Bryan and Aiden; always smiling, laughing, hanging out with them. You were a great son to my sister, an awesome grandson to Gram, and loved by everybody. It's going to be hard to figure out our way forward, but having watched you make your way forward for 20 years we have our inspiration!

Love, Uncle John
