My heart is filled with deep sadness for your tragic loss. While I have never met Colin, I have heard his name mentioned in my home many, many times by my daughter Amanda Shepley. It is through her I learned he is a beautiful person and fun to be around and just an all around great guy. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. I pray the love of family and friends get you through your grief.
