~~February 19th, 1995 to August 28th, 2005~~
Welcome to Colin's website. Colin was diagnosed in 3-02 with a malignant brain tumor called medulloblastoma. He had surgery to remove 95% of the tumor followed by 31 radiation treatments to the spine and head and 48 weeks of chemotherapy. He had been off treatments since July of 03, and had relapsed on 5-27-04 with multiple tumors on his brain and spine. We tried a new oral chemo and he had remained stable until we found out on June 18th of 2005 that once again the cancer has
spread. He has since had more seizure episodes which led to another mri in August which showed that there was a small amount of further growth of the cancer. On August 28th, 2005 at 3:15 pm Colin went into the arms of Jesus and smiled once again. We will never forget him or the lessons he taught us. We miss him dearly.

Journal
Tuesday, February 19, 2008 6:39 AM CST Today he would've been a teenager. The big 13. It seems so unfair that he never got to experience this special time in life. No Junior High dances, no notes from girls, no awkward voice changes. So unfair, yet there's nothing I can do to change that.
There are so many things he never got to do or see or experience. I pray that Heaven makes up for all of that. If anyone deserves greatness and true happiness, Our Colin did.
Please light your Colin candles today and just stare at the flame for a few minutes thinking of nothing but him.
I love you Chucky. Happy Birthday. We are with you somehow, and you are with us.
Love,
Mom, Dad and Sam
