To Ron, Tina, Lizzy, John and all of your families. Please accept my sincere condolences in the passing of Mrs Collett ( Margarita ). She always made me feel so welcome whenever I came over when we all lived on Ormskirk. I will always remember her.

Dear Collett Family,

I am so sad to hear that dear Margarita has gone to be with the Lord. She was such a godsend to many of us at Ormskirk. For those who didn't know, she took in many of us at lunchtime and after school while our parents worked outside the home. She introduced many of us to Kraft Dinner and hot dogs (to a child of immigrants, it was such a treat to have a such a Canadian meal!). Johnny and I played together until my mom came to collect me (fun times). When I was old enough be left alone at home, we'd continue to talk in the hallways and she would update me on the wonderful achievements of all her family members. She was proud of each and every one of you!!! Sending love! Donna and Rose (Donna's mom)
