    Dear Margaret and Family - my deepest sympathy to you on the passing of Colin. He was my father's first cousin (Robert Adams, Glace Bay), and his father, Nelson, was my grandmother's brother (she was Jessie Beaton Adams, Glace Bay.) I loved visiting Collie in Coxheath when visiting and there was always a warm welcome and a cup of tea from Collie and Margaret, as there was from Aunt Mary in earlier years. I remember Collie's father, Nelson, as well, from visits when I was a child. May Collie rest in peace. He was such a loving and kind man, and I know that he will be dearly missed from your family circle. Lydia Adams

    To Margaret and family, My deepest sympathy in the passing of a dear family friend. We loved Collie ever since we moved to Coxheath in the early 70's. Our daughter Tricia would ride her bike down to see Collie's cows - especially one called Spook. We would help in hay making also. The end of an era in Coxheath. God bless Collie and all the family. He will be dearly missed. Jane Monaghan
