I just want to say how much Colin will be missed. He was a wonderful man, so creative and brilliant. He gave to much to the world to help others to communicate, and so much to children and horses through OHSET. He will be missed.

My dearest Colin,

Knowing you has made an amazing impact on my life. There were times when I couldn't talk to my family about my feelings and you were there. There were times that I needed a friend and you were there.

You supported me through a move and several frustrating evenings.

Colin, you were more than a friend, you were a mentor. Your drive for life, you ability to joke and cope, and your ability to love will always affect my life.

I am so glad I finally got to meet you. I wish I had been able to spend the night and have more time with you.

My favorite memory of you was you pulling me into your new room and showing me what an amazing shadow the tree from the front yard made on your new wall. That shadow proved to me that you would always see the beauty, always see the good in things. I want to be like you, Colin.

Thank you for being my friend.

I love you,
Sarah
