Betty, Bobby, Erin and Chris,
The presence of Bob, husband, father, grandfather will be greatly missed. But what a legacy he's fostered! Three successful children, two beautiful grandchildren, and a partnership with you, Betty, that lasted decades. May he always be at your side in spirit. I know there are certain things (the Hilltop, handle-bar mustaches, and goldfish named Bacardi) that will always keep Bob alive in my mind and heart.
Love and prayers of strength to you all,
Sarah

Mrs. Collins,
You have been and will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Among others, one of our most vivid memories of Mr. Collins is his story about the unique paint color on one of your neighbor's fences. I'm sure that you are finding comfort in all of the happy memories you shared. Peace be with you.

Our hearts are with all of the Collinses, despite the miles. We hope the loving thoughts of family and friends ease some of the pain you undoubtedly feel. We always think of Bob's smile, under that sweeping, gentlemanly mustache. He loved life, he loved family. We'll always love him for considering us part of your family.
