Not sure what to say?

Sending our deepest sympathies to all the family. Keeping you in our hearts and prayers during this difficult time.

Hi Mike and Jill,
I'm remembering so many Bible quizzing Saturdays mornings and Sunday nights at the church. Colten had God's word written on his heart. Praying that the Lord will shelter you in this time.

Hi Mike and Jill. I wish I could have met your son Colten. He was similar in appearance to my sons. Dale and I send our thoughts and love to you, your family and his two girls.

Jill, remembering your sweet blonde haired boy as an energetic smiley elementary student who was always smiling and kind. I am so very sorry for your loss. Praying for unimaginable strength for your family.

Sending you lots of love and prayers ❤
