Kathryn Collins and Family

March 14, 2007

We write to let you know that our mother, Kathryn Collins, is away in Florida and only learned of Kathy's passing a few days ago. She and all of the Collins "kids" wish to express their deepest condolences to you, Ed, at this time of such great loss. Kathy was a wonderful girl, and we will always smile when we think of her (a freckled,red-headed girl, with the map of Ireland on her face). We will remember her as one who truly cared for others. On many occasions she made sure that our mother was safely driven home from Bingo. Our faith tells us that Kathy is at peace now in heaven with her wonderful mother, and we pray that you, too, will be comforted knowing that they are together again in their heavenly home. Bless you, Ed, and please let us know if we can help you in any way.
Your old neighbors on Lockwood.

Ed, no bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. Ed, please call us if there is anything at all we can do.
