I went to school with both of you all the way through middle school and high school. I wanted to say I am so sorry about your little angel Colby. I know you are greiving right now and in time your hurt will be eased. The lord works in mysterous ways, and he just had other plans for Colby and your family.
My heart and prayers go out to both of you and your family.

" Cory and Melissa, I am so sorry for your loss. There is nothing I can say to make the pain go away, but I wanted to give you my sympathies. You are not alone in a loss such as this and I hope you can find love and strength from your loved ones to help you heal. I remember how lively you both were in school and I hope this tragedy does not take away from that. I know we were not close, but I am thinking of you both and wish nothing but the best for you both in the future. "
