In Loving Memory of

Catherine Collins

Mother, you have been the center of my world for so many years, it is hard to believe that I can't just pick up the phone and talk to you. I miss you terribly. There are so many memories that I have of you that I will never forget. My favorite memory from the last couple months of your 93 years of life was when you learned it was my birthday, and you said "Happy Birthday". Your words melted my heart. I will never forget when I walked into your room that gloomy Tuesday after I learned you could no longer get out of bed, and I looked at you, I saw the most precious smile I've ever seen, and it will never be forgotten. I know that Daddy, and the rest of the family will miss you as much as I do. You have been the cornerstone of the family for so many years, I don't think you can ever be replaced. I will always love you for all eternity. Rest peacefully Mother, I love you.

Your loving daughter, Mary
