I was welcomed into the home of Barb and Jim many years ago when I lived in Palo Alto,as a friend of Jenn. Growing up,although my home was in the UK, I always felt part of their loving family. I made two wonderful visits to the Collin Family in 1989 and 1992 and once again was welcomed with open arms full of love. I will always cherish those special memories and will continue to love my forever friend Jenn and her beautiful sisters. I love my 'California Family'! Thinking of you always xxx

Although I have never met Jim I have met His Daughter Jenn and gorgeous grandson Colton. I believe we are who we are due to the love, kindness and life skills we learn from our parents and He must of been the best dad because his family have the kindest hearts.
Sending our love Kathy, steve and Jack.

Jim Collin and I had one great thing in common. That was our love and admiration for his daughter, Laura. I am proud to have her friendship, and am grieving for her loss. Sending tons of love, and daily thoughts.

There is no better testament to the life that Jim Collin lived than the family he left behind. His daughters, strong, loving and kind, will always remind us of him. Though I didn't know him well, the smile on his face was not one of politeness; it was one that radiated joy. The joy in his life, the joy in his family and the joy in his heart was pure and will remain the lasting gift he leaves behind.
