Dear Austin Parker,
I was relieved to here that Colin’s long struggle with illness has ended. Death is never something to look forward to, but a stop the continual pain must have been a relief for you both. I know that Colin never once complained about his illness, and that has been an inspiration to all of his friends. The strength that you have shown as well cannot have been easy but that strength helped us all to cope. Please know that all of our thoughts are with you.
Sincerely,
Lisa parker
