Collin was such a sweet and talented boy with so much courage. I still have a thank you card, with a beautiful picture that he painted on the front, during his days here at Groves Elementary. My heart goes out to his family. You will be in my prayers.

My name is Samantha, and I graduated with Collin last year. He was truly an inspiration to everyone he went to school with. He was always smiling every time I saw him. I know I speak for everyone in his graduating class when I say he will always be missed. Prayers going out to all of his family and friends. -Samantha.

"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered come to Me. A golden heart stopped beating, a witty mind at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best." I love you, Collin. Praying God wraps His comforting arms around each of you during this difficult time. In knowing Collin is now with Jesus, we are acknowledging our faith in the resurrection...prayerfully we one day too will be resurrected and be reunited with Collin is his complete wholeness. God Bless!

Tasha - You and your family are in our prayers. The Lord gave you something beautiful and precious to watch over and guide as his gracious mom almost 20 years ago. Now he has called his son home and will welcome him home through the beautiful pearly gates. May God continue to bless you and keep you during this time and may you find peace and comfort in knowing that he is home with his one true Father. Love you girl with all our hearts. God Bless!
