Mr. Collins, I am so sorry for your loss. I am a nurse assistant at Memorial Hospital on 3 South and I helped in the care of your wife. Mrs. Collins was definately one of my patients that truly touched my heart. She had such kind and loving personality. I am saddened over her loss but just know she is in a better place.

Doug and Children,
I am so sorry to hear about Judy. I know your grief is great, but remember that you have a loving Father in Heaven who is the one who will care for Judy now. I know your grief as I lost Mel some 9 years ago.
