Schuyler, NE Saturday, July 30, 2011 Alice Collins Family, My sympathy to your family. I worked with your Mom at the Fremont Hospital...She was one of the first nurses I followed during my orientation back in June 1982. I will always remember her smile and kindness she showed this "new nurse"....I learned organization skills from Alice that I still use today. God Bless your Family, Susie KrejciDonna Collins Ellis

Fremont, Ne Monday, July 25, 2011 Crazy Old Alice,(it had to be said) she was one of my favorite people to work with all those over night shifts in Peds. We had great laughs even tho we were busy. She was quite the character and I thoroughly enjoyed her. She had such an infectious smile and crazy stories. She must of missed your dad too much. They are both together again and in a better place. I am truly sorry this happened so close to you losing your dad. The memories should keep them both alive in your hearts for a very long time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Maple Grove, MN Monday, July 25, 2011 Dear Collins Family, Very sad news hearing about your mom passing. So soon after your dad just means they couldn't be a part. I can remember going to visit Alice at the hospital with Kathy one time and thought she must really love being with all of these babies. She worked all of those crazy hours so we had to be quiet on the days when she was home sleeping. Boy was that hard. My love and prayers are with all of you during this time.
