To Mary, Missy, Billy, and Jamie it's probably been a tough year. Can't even imagine it's been a year. God bless you Chris(DAD). Still have lots of funny memories of your Dad(Chris)and Mom(Mary)having children. Am sure big Daddy is having some of those crazy moments always-especially watching your lives. He's always with you,just gotta catch up with him every thought in your day,and dreams. Much love, Susan Knickerbocker-A.K.A the best babysitter.XO

Dear Mary,
Oh the memories - What a wonderful tribute to a man so much larger than his stature! His legacy lives on in your children and grandchildren, and in all whose lives he touched. Please accept our deepest sympathy and gratitude; it is a priviledge to have served your family.
Always,

I remember Chris Collins from my days on the Neumann farm-Elm Street in the late 50's. His father "Billy" gave me job at the "stand". there I met Chris, his big smile and outgoing manner.
I so enjoyed his entire family. Britta Frisk was my best friend all those years in Rocky Hill and Chris, Britta, Doreann,and my brother Tim had a grand and glorious time all those great years.
Chris will be missed, in sympathy,

A little bit of me died when Chris passed. When I think of Chris I think of our childhood together and that time in my life was always special. At least I still have those memories. Thank you Chris.

Mary and family.
My prayers go out to you. Chris and I have gone to school Kindergarden through High School. We were both farmers I (part time) at my aunt's farm on West Street and he at his dad's. Everyone looked up to him because he was taller than most of us. May God bless him and you and your family. Ed Socha Jr.(Class of 64)

Dear Mary and the entire Collins Family:
My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you.
I feel I've been part of your family since 7th grade, when Joyce and I became friends, then partying with Dory while dating Walt. Walt and Chris were such jokesters, sometimes teasing me until I was in tears. Chris always worked hard and played hard. I will always remember Chris' infectious laugh. I am so glad that I had a chance to see him over the last few years while helping at the stand.
You are all in my thoughts at this difficult time.
