Dear Gray Family,
I posted these thoughts about Collette on my fb page. I’ll add them here as well.
Collette was a quiet and shy soul at church. She and I were both called to be Relief Society teachers at the same time. I had never had a teaching calling and getting up and speaking in public was nerve wracking. But it seemed to me that Collette had it far worse. Her steadiness at rising up to the occasion inspired me and gave me confidence. On my travels through the Salt Lake Airport she surprised me once coming up to say hello to me as I shopped in her store. I’ve enjoyed reading Collette’s obituary written by her loving family. We always catch a better glimpse of people through the eyes of their families. May she fly high in heaven and know that she will be remembered as one who did her best to live a beautiful life. 🌹
