Tom Collins - Online Memorial Website

Chris, I extend my condolences to you and your loved ones. This is a wonderful acknowledgement of your father. I know losses are sad, however, yet comes with wonderful memories that you've experienced with your father and life with him.

It brings to light memories of my own father, as I read some of the sharings of others and viewing the pictures of some of the happiness you shared.

 

The song being played on this, is befitting I'm sure. My sister would sing this song when she was young.

 

I've enjoyed hearing of some of your adventures in travels and can most likely see how or where you were influenced to do so. May your Dad's foot prints continue to lead you to many other wonderful things.

Sincerely, y que Dios te bendiga,

God Bless,

your Carnaval Advisory Committee member and friend,

Kentara

 

 

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your dad.  I remember seeing him during the evenings in his den, reading books in preparation for his next big adventure.  Always so prepared so that his trip would be a success.  The other thing I remember was his always wanting a picture of his children and Mrs. Collins opening their Christmas presents.

 

As we get older, we become more enlightened of the importance of spending as much time as we can with our family.  Nothing else really matters.  I know your family was always so well connected.  Mr. Collins will always be in your lives; he will always be there to listen. 

Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family during this diffult time.

                              Sincerely yours,

                                    David Bertnick

Dear Chris,

I’m sad to hear the news of the loss of your father.  By all accounts, it appears that he had a wonderful life.   A loving family, an adventurous spirit, and a kind heart, what more can anyone ask for?  Even though I never met him, I have no doubt, that the kindness you have shown my mother and me was nurtured by your father and family.  For this we thank you and send you our prayers.

 

May his loving memory console you and yours.

 

Yours truly,

Jake and Noemi Pavlovsky-Zuniga

I know it is such a difficult time for all of you right now, try to focus on remembering the wonderful, full and exciting life that he lived and keep those memories close to your heart forever.  I'm thinking about you guys and wish you the strength you need to realize your loss.  Take care of each other.

Nothing that is loved is ever really lost and no one who has ever touched a heart can really pass away.  Each memory I have of Tom lingers on. 

My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
