You have grew from a young girl, into an amazing, faithful and strong teenager to a beautiful Godly Woman. When we heard Melissa was getting married; we knew that this young man; Colin, had to be someone very special and incredible. A man of God and someone who would love her through the good times and the bad times. Melissa and Colin, you have been an inspiration to our family on so many different levels. We'll always be very grateful to the two of you for your beautiful Christ Like Example. We marvel at your strenth that only can come from knowing God personally & the beautiful witness you are to so many people. Words completely fail us when trying to express how we feel for the two of you. Please know that our prayers will continue to be with you now and in the future. We pray for a hedge of protection surrounding you and your family. May God grant you some precious time and make it as painless as it possibly may be. Both emotionally and physically. Our love and prayers are with you, your boys and your extended families. Please know that we're thinking of you both and wish you a "life time" of beautiful memories in the time you have left - All our Love and Prayers.

Even as I write I am overwhelmed by the situation you two face. I desperately wish that there were words to say that would make things easier but that is not the case. I remember meeting you two at Darren and Sarah's wedding and the fun loving couple that you were.

I only met Colin once and I think it was about 12 or more years ago. He was in Calgary for a hockey tournament (If I recall correctly). I was visiting my relatives in the Calgary area and was staying at Debbie and Brian's home and Colin and a friend of his were staying there as well. I just recall how polite he was for someone that age. He left a very positive impression. <br />I just want to tell you how sad I feel about what is happening and want you to know our thoughts are with you and Colin through this very difficult time.<br /><br />Larry Feldman<br />Waterloo OntarioLarry Feldmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737418951740708809.post-91212532756611710212010-06-27T19:04:33.552-07:002010-06-27T19:04:33.552-07:00Dear Melissa & Colin,

What a powerful time that was. God is up to something. Melissa you are an amazing woman of God and I honour you this day. God has put His super on your natural; to give you supernatural wisdom and discernment beyond your years. God bless you as you minister to your husband and your children at this extremely difficult time<br />Thank-you for sharing your journey with us all. Your love story with each other and your Heavenly Father has ministered deeply into our hearts. A story that needs to be shared with millions, and story to encourage, a story to bring hope, a story to make you cry, a story to make you laugh, and a story to share about a Saviour that without Him we could not attempt the journey ahead. A story embracing a God far biggier than ourselves. A story that without Him we could not be the people we are today. You both have demonstrated that in your weakness He is perfected. That in your weakness YOU ARE MADE STRONG. God is supernaturally carrying you Colin and Melissa and your family.<br /><br /> It's a strength beyond mans expectation. God's will, will be established here on earth as it is in heaven. The will of the Father is for Colin to be healed. That is the will of the Father. All your prayer warriers are Aarons and Urs...lifting up your arms. We are all boldly coming to the throne room grace at your time of need. Holy Spirit we ask that you release your power to minister right back into this family supernaturally. This journey is a testimony of who you both are in Christ Jesus. A beautiful story showing Gods grace. In both of you is Christ; the hope of glory. <br /><br />Here is a beautiful song by shaneandshane to listen to: click on "the Lord's Prayer"<br /><br />http://www.shanebweb.com/pages/eid-preview/<br /><br />Continuing to pray for you....Darla Christianson and Denise SzulerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737418951740708809.post-20669785596530501552010-06-27T17:23:29.582-07:002010-06-27T17:23:29.582-07:00Colin and Melissa,

A young couple , in love , married 10 years with three young children .<br />Ten months ago when our daughter-in-law died it didn't make sense from a worldly perspective .<br />What I want you both to know is that God will be there . We have seen it happen in our own lives. Whatever values you as a couple have instilled in your children will carry them . They will process things differently but God will encourage their little hearts .<br />Colin ... your children will remember you and the spot that you fill in Melissa's heart will always be there . Love is a powerful thing .<br />May God bring you His peace , His comfort , His strength . He will go before you , He will walk beside you , and He will carry you . He will minister to each one of you in whatever way you need it . He created you to be unique and that is how He will reveal Himself to each one of you .<br />Much love to you and to your families as they walk this journey with you .<br />Sharon HeidingerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737418951740708809.post-449226935273263612010-06-27T16:26:19.781-07:002010-06-27T16:26:19.781-07:00Colin and Melissa

He has many stories of the "Burrit boy adventures". The most traumatic for him was when the boys locked him and themselves out of the house. Reg had to break in through a basement window and then when he went back outside he had to run up and down the neighbourhood looking for the boys. Ask Colin about driving the car into the side of the church. <br />We were talking about where the glory of God is through this circumstance and Reg said it is all over you. The strength you have to share such a personal journey, the ability to worship God through this, the strength to carry a family at such a difficult time.<br />We are praying for you,<br />KimKim Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18168370135027076226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737418951740708809.post-36650589198524352952010-06-27T14:20:23.796-07:002010-06-27T14:20:23.796-07:00You do not know me, but my dad (Jack Lemire) and y...You do not know me, but my dad (Jack Lemire) and your father have worked many years together at the MHPD.
