Collie was one of the nicest people that I have ever met. My primary contact was seeing her at AVH and she always had a smile and cheerful words. I will never forget how kind she was to me during a difficult time in my life. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Mrs. Autry always had a smile on her face, And never let the grass grow under her feet. She was a fine woman. I thought the world of her. My heart and prayers are with Bill and the kids having to endure this loss.

We will miss Collie's laugh, big heart, and warm smile. Every time we visited the vets' office, she remembered all our pets' names and was very supportive of us and of them. God bless her. Our condolences to her family both at home and at Ashland Veterinary Hospital.

Bill, Mike and Lynn:
So sorry to hear about Collie. I have fond memories of our childhood with your mom.
She took me to the camper you had at the river. I was about 10 or ll years old. First time I had ever seen a beach.
