Words cannot fully express how moved we have been by the outpouring of love and support since the passing of our father, Roberto F. Kollie. During this difficult season, you have lifted us up with your prayers, comforted us with your presence, and supported us through your generous financial contributions and heartfelt messages.
My wife Pennie, my sister Raquel and her husband Mike Nelsen, and I want to extend a special thank you to everyone who stood by us.
We are deeply grateful to St. Matthew Evangelical Lutheran Church and Pastor Fair for their stewardship, spiritual guidance, and for hosting a beautiful service that honored Dad’s life so perfectly.
To our father’s siblings, thank you for being there to honor your brother. Your presence meant everything to us.
We were especially touched by Anguillatotoo Nyce and her mother, who traveled all the way from the British Island of Anguilla to be with us. Your dedication to his memory is a testament to the bond you shared.
To those who offered exceptional support, we want to recognize you individually: Victoria Hage and her sons, Solomon and Desmond; Gertrude and Francis Rogers; Cecelia Konah Moiyallah, Kollie Kpator, Enoch and Rosetta Hinneh; Abraham Holmes, Henry B. Dennis and his daughter, Lilly; Beatrice and Matthew Messina, Traci and Kevin Blackwood, Saliou Sow, Paul and Yah N. Nosegbe; Esther M. Tarpee, Benedict Allison, Edna Snyder, Suliman Kamara, Sophia Dennis, Kumbah Saah, Emmanuel Siafah, and Comforte Sayonkon.
To all our friends—both here in York and those who reached out from afar—thank you. Whether you attended the service, sent a card, made a donation, or simply kept us in your thoughts, please know that your kindness has provided us with strength when we needed it most.
With sincere appreciation and love,
Roche, Pennie, Raquel, and the entire Kollie Family
