My heart goes out to you Michelle and your family. I was in shock when I saw this and had no way to express my sorrow. I quickly dug out the photo of he and I, all hugs and smiles, he was not older than 5 or 6 yrs old.
He was my baby, just a genuine sweetheart. Now he is with the creator of all. My prayers are w/you and maybe our paths will cross again soon, until then all my love. Colby u will be missed . xoxo

Colby, as I look at your picture when you, your brothers and sister were younger. You were always smiling, active and stood in the back. You would always say, I Love You, without anyone telling you what to say. You had a million dollar smile, and had the favor of God, on your Life.

Colby, your family will miss you. You are now in the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Were Really Going To Miss YOU!

Family Hold Strong In Peace and Unity!
