Thank you for being a second mom to me throughout my entire childhood. You will forever remain in my heart.

To the entire Collier family, my heart goes out to you. I know how much your mom/grandma/great grandma was the glue to your family. She will be greatly missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you today and for the difficult journey that lies ahead. Love you all.
