Dear Brian and the Collins Family,
Our deepest sympathies in your loss. Pauline was such a neat lady. We remember what a great fan she was of Buffalo High School wrestling. Our Dad, Bill Zaske, worked with your Dad at MNDOT as you’ll recall, and Don worked with Joe at Paul’s Standard station years ago. Great memories of your parents! Sincerely, Don & Laureen
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
My deepest sympathy goes out to your entire family. Jeff Habisch shared with the wrestling booster club some great memories he had of Pauline. I only wish I could have met her. Without a doubt the Buffalo Wrestling Club has suffered a great loss of one of our biggest fans.
Sincerely,
Karen Elsenpeter
Buffalo Wrestling Booster Club Secretary
Remembering you in prayer. May you be blessed with the special love & comfort that only God can give ~
…My memory goes way back to a sweet gal and her “Pink Comet(?)”….
Brian and Darlene,
Not what I expected to see when I googled your names hoping to connect with you again.
I’m so sorry to hear. Your mom was a great person. I remember having many a fun conversation with her. I hope her last years were good ones.
If you get this, please reply back to my work email. I am putting together an invite list for Tami’s SURPRISE 40th on 6/26, we would LOVE to see you guys again!
Randy
