My condolences to the Colby Family.

What shows that a person values this gift of life? By the legacy they leave behind. May those happy memories sustain the family and bring some comfort to your heart.

He is healing the broken-hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots.(Psalms 147:3)

Life is full of uncertainties...Eccl 9:11

And even when we may sometimes know what is expected to come next, it doesn't make it any easier to deal with it.

To family and friends of Mr. Anthony Colby, at a time such as this, treasure one of Gods precious gifts to us, memories. Allow them to comfort you and know that one day soon, we will no longer have to experience such pain brought upon us by our 1st human parents. At his Fathers request, Jesus gave his life for us so that we might have everlasting life in a new world. THAT was Gods most precious gift! So live for the day when we can say: "Life Without End At Last!" Isaiah 25:11
