To all Collier family; It has been two weeks now since our father has passed and I still can't cope with this,I feel like it's all a dream.I Know that we all grieve in our own ways and thats ok..... I just want everyone to know that I will be here for you I'm only a phone call away. Dad, I hope when you left here ,you knew in your heart that we all loved you more than you know. I'm glad I got to spend at least a few hours with you until you were to tired to fight.I will see you someday and we will take care of eachother again. Love,your daughter Melissa
