Roger, John, Jeff, Valerie & Cindy, I was so saddened to hear (from Cindy) about your mother's death.  There are so many good memories of when our parents got together for the many 'events'.  She will be missed by us all.

Mrs. Collins was a jewel indeed!  As the "sixth child" from around the corner, many, many memories were made!  Always ready with a peanut butter and fluff sandwich and to watch the many productions Cindy and I conjured up over the years!  A second mother indeed!  My love to the family!
Susan (Cummings) Foreman or as Mr. and Mrs. Collins called me "Susie Cummings!"

My Aunt Sande...the epitome of style and grace. I loved her and will miss her always. Thoughts and prayers to my cousins and their families.
Dave Hedden

The world truly is a better place having had Sande in it.  She brought such joy and beauty wherever she went and everyone I know who knew her adored her.

My deepest condolences to the family.  The last time I saw Sande was at my mother's funeral - she never failed to comfort others when needed and I will forever be grateful.

Sande called me on several occasions after Evelyn's passing just to see how I was doing and to make me laugh.

She was a wonderful, caring, considerate and absolutely beautiful (inside and out) woman.

My sincere condolences,

Cathy Mitschele

Aunt Sande, I miss you already. You were a beautiful and talented lady. You always made me feel special. You endeared yourself to my friends each year at the Races in Far Hills. I will always remember the chocolate cake! You are missed, but I only have to think about all of the great times and laughs and I will smile remembering you. My thoughts and prayers are with Roger, John, Jeff, Val and Cindy and their families. Love to you, Heather (your niece)
