Dear Kathy, Larry, Mrs.Collins and Children: Sorry I could not make the service, but we just returned from Spring Break at the Colony courtesy of Tom Hunt and I had a million things to do down here at the College of Law. But I did want to express my sincere condolences for the death of Dr. Collins. At the wedding I had a good deal of time to speak with him about all things Irish. He reminded me somewhat of my late Father, who was a lawyer though. In any event, I will keep him in my prayers. Francis Boyle

Dear Katherine:
We read with saddness of your father's death. Although we never met him, you often spoke about him so fondly that it seemed as if we had known him. He was a giant in his field, and the medical field has suffered a great loss, although you and your family have suffered an even greater loss. Our deepest sympathies and condolences to you, your family, your mother and your brothers and sisters. May his memory be a blessing to you.
With warmest regards,
Howard & Brenda Goffen
