To the Collins family,<br><div></div><br><div>I am sorry for your loss and offer my heartfelt condolences. I was close friends with Jared throughout middle school and often still think of our afternoons delivering newspapers together. As he moved away we eventually lost touch but reconnected a couple months ago as he visited Haverhill. It was as if no time had passed. Jared possessed a gift where you just wanted to be around him, he was always smiling,always in a good mood. He made you feel happy just standing next to him. I will miss him greatly but will always remember the times we spent together. I hope that in these tough times you can think of his big smile and infectious laugh and dream of better days ahead.</div>
