"It's almost impossible to put into words how Collin affected my life as I'm sure he did so many others. To this day, I have yet to meet another person with a heart as genuine as Collin's was. Not a day went by I didn't laugh on the P.S. 46 playground because of you. You will always be missed and thank you for being a positive role model to look up to. Always remembering you."
