I was so sorry to hear this sad news-- I remember seeing him many times over the years, always smiling-- and my last time was when his grandfather Fondren died in Tuscumbia...Remember all you happy times with him and celebrate his live.

I have never met Colt in person but I have heard so much about him it is as if we were long-time buddies.
Our Daughter, Haley, has told us so much about him. Haley met Colt through Best Buddies & instantly feel in love with him.
You are in our thoughts & prayers now & in the coming days. We trust God when he says that "he is close to the broken-hearted & he is attentive to their cries. He will make himself known in a very special way."
God bless & thank you for sharing Colt with this world.
Love,

To the family: my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. Losing a child is one is very painful, I know because I have lost one. I have comfort in the hope of the resurrection. Jesus promised that there's going to be a resurrection of all those in the grave and they will hear his voice and come out. John 5:28,29 Also at John 11:25 Jesus said "I am the resurrection and the life, he that exercises faith in me though he dies will come to life again". What a wonderful time that will be when we will see our loved ones again! To learn more about God's promises, please visit www.jw.org
