Dear Collier Family:



It is with deepest sorrow that we, the Collier family in Washington, DC, extend our depest sympathy in the loss of your mother. Although I have never met her, I do know that she was a wonderful woman. Her son, Bernett and his siblings are cousins of mine. I am the grandson of the late Mr. and Mrs. Randall Collier who was an uncle to her late husband. I had the distinct privilege of meeting Bernett at a family reunion some years ago. Since that time I have lost contact with him. I will be sure to tell Bernice and Viola the news of the passing of your mother. Again, with our deepest sympathy, we send our prayers and love.



Sincerely,



Thomas Graham
