My God, I am so sorry to hear that Colum passed a way at such a young age.
When he came to my Dad´s wake he said that my Dad was his favorite uncle, my Dad thought the same of him, I am sad for his family as he is gone way too soon. My sincere condolences to his family. Rest in peace, Until we meet again.
