A fine tribute to a wonderful young man! Collin was a friend and teammate of my twin sons and a linemate of one of them. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten by the whole Ramparts family. I guess it is fitting that each forward on their line (Collin, Matt and Branden) all scored in their last game together. RIP COLLIN

My heart goes out to this family - such a senseless loss- so young - It just makes you realize that life is unpredictable and appreciate what you have in the moment. I will say a prayer for this young man and his family.

There are no words that can ever take the pain away from losing a child. That is a lose like no other. My heart goes out to all who knew Collin. My heart aches for all of you. This time of year to me is the hardest ever. My husband was killed by a drunk driver in nov of 2000. My heart still aches for him, and always will. I have a lot of different poems I always read, for comfort for me. I want to share one with all who knew Collin. Again I am so sorry for your lose.

LETTER FROM HEAVEN

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME,
AND I'M NOT HERE TO SEE,
IF THE SUN SHOULD RISE AND FIND YOUR
EYES, FILLED WITH TEARS FOR ME

i WISH SO MUCH YOU WOULDN'T CRY,
THE WAY YOU DID TODAY,
WHILE THINKING OF THE MANY THINGS
WE DIDN'T GET TO SAY.

I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ME,
AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU,
AND EACH TIME YOU THINK OF ME,
I KNOW YOU'LL MISS ME TOO.

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME,
DON'T THINK WE'RE FAR APART,
FOR EVERY TIME YOU THINK OF ME,
I'M RIGHT THERE IN YOUR HEART.

I will pray for Collins family. Again I am so sorry for lose.

Though I did not know Collin my thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this difficult time. It is never easy losing someone so young and so close to you. Meghan what a beautiful tribute you made.
