    It sounds like a cliché but the phrase gone too soon is what first comes to mind. For the short time that I’ve known you and Mele, you both have made an eternal impression in my heart. May you find peace in your journey and know you are back again amongst the stars. Take care my friend and we will keep you close.

    Sincere Sympathy and loving thoughts to Colins Wife, three boys, and his dad, Norman n Margaret, and to all who new him and loved him. This indeed was shock and unpleasant news to hear. Colin was just a little boy, not yet in school, when he lived near us on Colonial Avenue in Stephenville.. He visited our home with his mom and dad, Norman. A sweet little lad and since we had six children and a little dog, Colon fitted right in. Such a shame he had to leave his family at such a young age, but no one wanted him to life in pain. Although we saw Morman at the Health Science while attending an appointment, with Covid an all, it was difficult to catch up on everything, So God Bless to his Family and Also Norman. ❤️
