Alice and family:
Words cannot express how I feel, our hearts are with you. All I can say is keep the faith and ask God for strength and guidance, for you know he is a man that makes no mistakes. Remember the love you have and had for your child, because your memories will give you the strength that you need. God be with you and the family.
Love the Colston's
