I am so sorry to hear about your loss of dear Colin. I have such wonderful memories of him as a fifth grader. I remember how brilliant he was with the computer and could solve any problem much to my relief! What a happy night when we went to the Computer Night at W and L. He wowed us all. He and his talents will be surely missed. Sending prayers and loving thought to his family.

Life can be filled with tears and pain, especially while experiencing the death of someone so young and as full of life as Chrisopher. I know that he is dearly missed, but there is hope in the future when death will be a thing of the past. Rely on God to comfort your pain and ease the sting that his death has left.
