About this Blog - About Colin
This blog was built to update everyone with Colin's medical progress and to have a place where people can share information. When I first started the blog, the donations were thought to be for all of the medical expenses. Then Colin had an extended hospital stay (a lot of which was ICU and surgery). Now, with this tremendous loss, the funds donated are to help Kelly maintain the everyday family expenses/bills. Any additional funds will be directed to the children's funds through the donation function on this page. We will continue to maintain this page as different events are scheduled. Please continue to check back. I just wanted to let everyone know how very grateful the family is and how the prayers and support help so much during these very dark days. A little information about Colin. He is a father. He is a husband. He is a brother. He is a musician. He is a friend to many in the New Orleans area and beyond. He works in the service industry. Through his many years as a bartender/manager, he has touched so many lives by just being Colin. He loves his family and he loves his city! Pre-Katrina, he ran Nick’s Bar and was in a local band. Although Nick’s bar and the band did not survive Katrina, he believed in New Orleans and was one of the first residents back in the city. He helped many people transition back to the city that he loves and calls home. He has always been a friend to everyone. If you needed anything, he would be there for you. If you would like to contribute, please do so using the donation option on this blog. You can also post the blog link on your facebook account. Kelly's spirits have been lifted all of the posts and pictures. Blog and pictures below:
The Memorial was a beautiful Tribute to Colin's life. Kelly was full of Grace & Serenity and everyone was touched by this. So many people who came to honor Colin. It was wonderful to be a part of this. Thank you New Orleans.
ReplyDeleteI was blown away by the Memorial on Sunday. I can only hope to be loved, admired, respected, and appreciated by even half as many people that feel that way about Colin. I know he was with us, and no doubt smiled while watching Lucy dance. The family and friends who put it all together did a wonderful job. I feel blessed to have gotten to be there.
