Miss Collister, I only knew you a short while but I will never forget you. You always made me smile. It was a pleasure knowing you.I will always remember the walks we took down the hall and you admiring the pcitures of the dogs on the wall. I will always look at those pictures and think of you. You will always be remembered. Rest in peace my friend.
