Julie, Chris, Coralee, and family: Our deepest sympathy to the family of Bob. Now is the time for the Lord to carry him as he is no longer strong enough. Bob will be sadly missed and fondly remembered.
Dear Julie and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss.
It was a priviledge to have met Bob and known him, even for such a short time. Unfortunately we no longer have family reunions, but at least in doing so, I was able to meet John’s wonderful family.
I would like very much to hear from you anytime. Please feel free to contact me. (if you do not have my phone number you can contact my daughter through this e-mail address and she can forward it to you.)
Your loving Aunt Mildred
I wish to express my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Although I did not know Mr. Collins well, he was obviously a wonderful husband and doting father. Having known Coralee for many years, and more recently Chris and Julie, I have come to realize that Mr. Collins was truly a blessed man to have been surrounded by such a caring family. My thoughts and prayers are with your family, now and in the months ahead.
Hi Coralee and family.I’m very sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. It was a tough battle but now he can be at peace. My thoughts are with you.
I was sad to hear the news of Bob’s passing from his son. I worked as secretary to the Joint Health and Safety Committee along with Doris Kingdom and the committee at Victoria Hospital back in the 90’s where I came to know Bob. He was also a member of the Lab Safety Committee. I very much enjoyed working with him and found him to be a thoughtful, considerate person. It was a pleasure knowing him. I wish your family best wishes at this sad time, but know that he had a big part in keeping our hospital safe during his time on the committee.
Dear Skip and Bill
My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
I know you will draw upon your own strength and the strength of the ones that care about you
I am thinking about you in this difficult time of sorrow.
Your Sister Kelly
Just a note to let you know how sorry we are to hear about your dad’s passing. You and your family have been in our thoughts this holiday season. Our condolences.
