Thanks to a family friend who got in touch with the movie studio Pixar, an employee of the Emeryville-based company arrived at Colby's home with a DVD copy of the movie, The Orange County Register reported Friday. The girl died later that night.

Colby's mother, Lisa, said she had asked her daughter if she could hang on until the movie arrived.

She was such a brave young girl…(knowing her own destiny). What a thoughtful person or company that was to allow and enable her to watch that movie. I believe that after she passed, her soul sailed into the Heavens with the aid of a big bunch of balloons. Stories like this bring tears to my eyes. You know she is in Heaven now! Such a sad story with a very happy ending!
