I was just thinking of Sean. From the moment we met in the hospital it was such a special bond. He inspired me in so many ways and I am so privileged to have been able to know him and call him a friend. Thank you to all the Collins family for allowing me to experience your amazing family. Sue

Sometimes I forget how much I miss you - then I hear a song (November Rain) and I am reminded just HOW MUCH I MISS YOU

Just wanted to say hello and read the entries over and over again. We all miss you so much and you are always on our minds. I still haven't seen you in my dreams and I'm not sure why, but you will appear at some point I hope. Miss you as usual and thanks for watching over us.

I cant wrap my arms around the fact it has been 3 years. So much has happened both good and bad and how I wish you were here in a physical way to talk and support each other through it all. I do know your spirit shines through at times in that special little man but it makes me yearn for our time where we could just talk for hours just because.
April 7, 2012
Recently someone told me to look and listen for some signs of your presence-Well I recieved ur message.
Always in my thoughts - Happy Easter my Brother
April 24, 2011
2 years seem like 2 minutes.
I know you are still here, just in a different way - still wish I could just pick up the phone and talk.
March 17, 2011
As close as we were I never knew the impact you had and continue to have on people, and for that I am enriched by you. Not a day goes by that you aren't in my thoughts but day's like today remind me of how special our relationship was. You once said to me that you learned alot from me-now it is my time to say right back at you Bro

Happy Fathers Day to an awesome dad!
April 24, 2010
1 year, wow.... I knew you would be missed but no one could have known the impact you left on so many people of all ages.
We have all moved on as best we could and when there were times of sadness you somehow let us know in many ways you are ok.
From the youngest to the oldest you are missed and loved .

I was just thinking about Sean the other day and had no idea he had passed. I am so sorry for your loss. I had not seen Sean in so many years but we used to work together at Caldor and he was such a great guy... funny... sweet... I am stunned and saddened. My prayers are with you all.
January 8, 2010
As I reflect back on the past Holiday season, the one thing I have come to realize is that even though you may not have been here in a physical form like years past, you chose to let us ALL know through one little boy that you were here to celebrate the season with ALL of us. I want you to know the messages you sent are a great deal of comfort.
THANX

On this eve before Thanksgiving,I have to be thankful for having you in my life. I've learned so much about life and how not to take it for granted. Watching you live each day to it's fullest is a lifelong lesson that never ends. I am so grateful for all the times we spent just talking. We did'nt need to go anywhere to have fun, just sit in the yard for hours on end. Some of my favorites are when you'd come to our yard for dinner, we all loved it and you thought you were a burden,...so far from the truth. A couple of more summers would've been nice but he called you home Sean, your work was done,and you did it up right! Hope you have a super Thanksgiving,I'll be thinking of you,as usual.
November 16, 2009
What a turn out, you never cease to amaze me! It was a fitting tribute to you and an awesome moment for all. How could anyone not feel good about today when they lay their head on the pillow tonight? III have been enjoying your bench as much as daylight allows and look forward to many more special moments at your pond. No matter where life takes me III know there will always be a seat in my hometown that will comfort me. III am not alone...Did you SEE that crowd?!!!
November 16, 2009
Going to be remembered today down at YOUR pond. Hope you will be there in spirit with us. (Even though we all know your there everyday) Miss you so much, always in my heart.
October 24, 2009
Spring and Summer have come and gone since u left us. The fall events and upcoming Holidays leaves a sense of emptiness. Although you are free from your shackles that were placed upon you here, your presence will be greatly missed at this time of the year.
September 6, 2009
not that I needed to be reminded of the VOID.... but I realized another special aspect of our relationship has come to pass while watching football yesterday. I know u were here, I just couldn't communicate with u the way I wish i could.
August 15, 2009
For those of us left behind, this day has a somber tone to it now. It is a day we once called "Happy". A day of reflection, that was once a celebration.But, it is, and always will be, your day. III hope you celebrate like never before, DANCE your butt off!!! We miss you, Happy Birthday my friend...
August 14, 2009
So many B-days have come and gone through the last 20 years, I dont think we need to glorify this one. I will wish u a happy b-day in my own way.... but I can tell u this, there is an emptiness unlike years past.

July 9, 2009
It feels like we are all on pause and our lives are on hold. III can't seem to proceed with anything and my mind is always elsewhere. The only comfort has been that you are always on my mind. If it wasn't for all the GREAT memories, I'd be lost....
July 3, 2009
Is all this rain because you miss us and can't stop crying either?....just a thought....
June 23, 2009
Oh my brother, at times it seems like 2 minutes when actually it has been 2 months. One thing I do know is how much I miss u and miss our relationship.

Collins Family,
I am truly saddened to hear of Sean's passing. I truly enjoyed working with him at Caldor and playing street hockey with him. To this day when I hear a Journey song I think of him. My thoughts and prayers are with Sean and your family.
June 9, 2009
I think of you everyday and know you are with me in spirit. The signs are continuous and don't go unnoticed. The lessons you gave on how to live life to the fullest are some of my favorite memories. You are a legend Sean Collins and always will be......to be continued.

I just recently reconnected with Sean about a month ago through Facebook of all things. We went to Beebe and MHS together graduating in '85...lost touch like so many of us do after high school, but I always had a great time during those school years playing ball with Sean and just having fun being kids. He always had a great time no matter what he did. He will definitely be missed!

I was so shocked to see that Sean had passed away. I don't know if you remember me but I used to work with Sean at Caldor back in the day and I used to get together with him, Frank, Dave and John every friday night when we were in our early twenties. We would go to dinner and then a movie or go back to Sean's house to watch the game or play board games. I always think of Sean when I hear a Journey song or of playing board games like we used to on fridays. I am so sorry for your loss and you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I was very sad to see Seans picture in the paper yesterday. I could never forget that smile. I worked with Sean 20 years ago at the P.O. and remember him as a fun and kind person. I am very sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

To the Collins family, I'm not sure if you remember me but I was Sean's roommate at Boston Medical Center when we were both injured back in 1989. My family and I were so sorry to hear of Sean's passing, my sincerest thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time. Please try to find some peace in your heart knowing that Sean is with God and other friends and relatives (standing strong) in heaven. I will miss him greatly but think of him often. God bless!

Sincerest sympathy to your family on the loss of Sean. I will always remember his smile, his pleasant attitude and his sense of humor. It was always a pleasure seeing him out and about rather than at the hospital. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time.
