Dear Colin, It seems like yesterday we were riding around together and hanging out. This has come at such a shock. You will greatly be missed. With love, Amber

I have always told my husband that Colin was one of the few people I trusted. That made me feel at ease and was fond of our kids. A pleasure to have had in my life.

Philip has always held him in high regards. He is distraught as to why this had to happen to Colin. He wasn't just a friend. He was family, to all of us. He will be deeply missed.
