Not sure what to say?

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all!

I had only known Jean for a couple of years. During that time she was always willing to share her knowledge of the area which was quite extensive. One of her favorite stories was how a nearby house had a speakeasy in the basement. During a dry time(no alcohol), the local politicians would frequent it.

We will dearly miss our Miss Collins; the nurses at St Joseph Hospital had gotten to know her pretty well and we were very fond of her. Our prayers go out to family and friends.

Our staff is thankful for the opportunity to assist in caring for Jean in her last days. We offer our thoughts and prayers to her friends and family at this difficult time.

I just want to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I am Elizabeth Gunkel and I work for Allen County Council on Aging and I would go in to Mrs. Collins house once a week and help her by cleaning and doing laundry. Again, I only knew her for a few short weeks but she was an amazing painter and a even more wonderful women. Sorry for you lose.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Gunkel
