A Gathering for Collin 1-4-09

Steve, Alex, Max and I would like thank all of you for coming to Collins gathering. We are not surprised at the amazing turnout because he was a truly amazing person.
Steve and I read through the memory box and just cried. All the letters and memories were so special. Thank you for sharing and telling us things we didn't know about Collin.
I sit here today and cry for the emptiness I feel without having Collin near. I miss his presence in the house, I miss doing his laundry, I miss kicking his shoes to the side at the back door, I miss his dirty dishes in the sink, I miss his car in the driveway, I miss his laughter, his hugs and his constant "I love you's"
I'll miss him till I see him again.......

Hello, I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to be able to come to this site. And I'm so sorry that I couldn't make it to the service. I would have given anything to be there, but I had to be in France. I think about him all the time. And I sympathize with your loss to no end. I know how hard this is, and unfortunately there is nothing that anyone can offer to ease this tremendous pain that you feel. All I can offer is my shoulder to lean on and a listening ear. I would love to get together with you when I get back. From past experience, I think that it helps keeping in touch with their friends and family. I know that it has helped me with a similar situation. If you feel like talking, my email is katiejo1@gmail,com... My phone doesn't work here, otherwise I would suggest that. I'm also so very sorry that I wasn't able to get back to you before I left, but I'm glad that you made the best of your holidays. Well, once again, my heart goes out to you and you're family for your loss. He was a genuinely amazing person.
Talk to you soon,
Katie Jo
