Ted and family, so sorry to hear of your loss. I also just lost my mother related to dementia. Apparently she shared the same birth date as your dad one year earlier. She died on her 87th birthday January 11. Sincerely Dan Gleason (work colleague of Ted's for many years)

Dear Collins Family,

I am friends with Claudia and John and was in their wedding. I remember Jerry's heartfelt wedding toast for both its length and eloquence. I hope that when my daughters are married I can speak as lovingly as Jerry did. My condolences to you all.

Claudia, John and family - I am so sorry for your loss. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Sue Haefner (ski patrol friend of John and Claudia)

I was thinking about Uncle Jed last night, how he called me Katleen instead of Kathleen, how his wonderful smile and disposition always made me feel loved by him. I will miss him even though we haven't seen each other in years and years - he was still there in Rochester and it was comforting to know that.
Love to all the family - My deepest sympathy to all. Katleen
