Hi, I'm a resident of Devon Woods and a daily walker and bike rider. I saw Mary Ann Collins several times a week, but did not learn of her death until I saw the flower memorial at the crosswalk on Grand St. I feel terrible about this and think that any number of elderly people could be in danger at that crossing. I'd like to send my condolences to her son John Odland as a way of paying tribute to his beautiful mother. I just feel terrible about her loss and hope that I can convey this to John and his family.

I am deeply saddened by Mary Ann's death in the prime of her life. I know the sudden death was a traffic incident, which I passed by on Tues Nov 17. I was not a friend but a fellow Wednesday night bingo player at Liberty Green. I send my deepest sympathies for such a tragic loss.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family during this very difficult time, Mary Ann was a beautiful, caring, loving and compassionate person who had such a big heart and dynamic and fun loving personality. She helped our family through very difficult and challenging times when my father passed away. We were always very thankful for her kind heart and the time she shared with my mom. Mary Ann will be missed by many and may she be remember for the Smiles she shared and lives she touched always. Love the Capone and Johnson Family.
