Thanks; I can use Edwina’s obit.

I just posted Perry Jeffrey Collins’ obit. Here is Laurie Melvin Collins’
obit.

OBITUARY: Laurie Melvin Collins
The death of Laurie Melvin Collins, 3 month old son of Mr. and Mrs. John
Collins, Jr., of Maccan, occurred on Monday following several weeks illness.
Besides his parents, the baby is survived by one brother, Roy, and one
sister, Carol. The funeral was held from the home Wednesday afternoon with
Rev. C.D. MacDonald of the United Church, Nappan in charge, with interment
