R.I.P. COLBY CURTIN

Colby Curtin got her final wish. The 10-year-old girl desperately wanted to see the new Disney-Pixar movie, “Up.” But the cancer-stricken girl was too sick to go to a theater.

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.

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

"I'm ready (to die), but I'm going to wait for the movie," she said her daughter replied.

Because of the pain, Colby was unable to open her eyes to see the movie, so her mother described the scenes. When her mother asked whether she enjoyed it, the girl nodded, Curtin said.

The Orange County Register reported Friday. The girl died later that night.
