You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.

Our hearts still ache in sadness, and secret tears still low.

What it means to lose you, no one will ever know.

We hold you tightly within our hearts and there you will remain; you see life has gone on without you, but we will never be the same.

We love you, Colby forever...God Bless our beautiful angel in the sky.

Never forgotten...Love always, Dad, Mom, & Sam
