To the Family of Gail Collins:
I was very sorry to hear of your loss. Gail was a sweetie and I know you have all enjoyed the last few years with her.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Paula K. Zachary


Saturday on my way back to Taylorsville from Pageland, I stopped at the Boston Market on Independence Blvd for lunch in memory of Gail.
