  • Tena Marie Jessome lit a candle on 11/08/2011:
    "Not a day goes by that I do not think of you with smiles, tears or both. We tell our stories of you with a longing and a joyfulness for all you gave us. Colin will always know you and your gifts of laughter, playfulness and a way of teasing that let a child know they were wrapped in love."
