To each and every one of Uncle Matt’s family, we are thinking of you all. Uncle Matt was my Grandmother’s Brother and last family member to bid this earth a farewell. I remember as a little girl hearing her and my dad talk of Uncle Matt, he was looked to with great pride. When my grandmother passed away, it was a sad time but also a happy one, cause Uncle Matt came home. I remember everyone was so excited to see him, he stayed with us, I remember him so well from that visit, he was fun, always had time for us little ones. Actually the only baby doll I ever owned was one that he bought me before leaving to go home after the funeral was over. Years after, he and Evelyn were here in NL and camping near by, I was very excited when my dad said he was here again, they came to visit my dad and mom, but a few days later, I took my two children to visit at the park, they are grown now but still remember the fun they had pretending to drive the motor home with Uncle Matt. I know that this is a very sad time for all the family and friends who knew him much more than I did, but take comfort in knowing how very much he was loved and remember him with great pride. He was also my dad’s godfather, and I know they are both looking down on us and watching over all their family and friends. Two great men are now together and free of all the pain, they are now at peace and together forever. On behalf of myself, my husband Ray, Seekay and Amy. My mom, brother and sister their families, Uncle Matt’s niece Anne Marie LePage, nephew Percy LePage and many relatives here in Newfoundland, I send our deepest sympathy and prayers to the Collier families and friends of this great man. To Evelyn, we love you and are all thinking of you in this difficult time. You’re a great lady and we love you. Wish we could be with you all through this sad time. Love from Newfoundland.
