I knew Mrs. Collingwood all my life, she was a great woman, we did girl scouts at her house sometimes, and I graduated with Anne. Prayers to the family.

We are certainly praying for you Dick, and your family. I'm so glad Barb was able to see the Edison band at the Memorial home just one more time this past Christmas holiday. We cherish our conversations especially while being together. Please let us know if you need anything. Sincerely Denise and Mike Reilly, Norwalk Ohio
