The Collins Family would like to invite you to:

The Ceremony and Celebration of Troy Collins

Please join us on November 11th @ 1:00pm
14 Highlands Court
Belmont, CA

In Canada, November 11th is a nationally observed holiday known as “Remembrance Day”. Decidedly, this would be a perfect day to come together and celebrate our love for Troy.

We will all gather around the Collins house to share fond memories and refreshments. The official service will begin at 1:00pm and we will disperse at 5:00pm.

We expect a large number of friends to attend, so please plan on carpooling if possible. That said you may have a bit of a walk from your vehicle.

Since 11/11 is Veterans Day, many children will be out of school. Please use your own best judgment when deciding whether or not to bring your children. Service will be outside, and it may become difficult to hear or hard to be in the moment if your children will need to be closely tended to. However, you are more than welcome to bring your children if you wish.

If you would like, you may bring your favorite dessert to share! But, of course, it is not necessary to bring anything at all. Please, to keep things as simple as possible, it would be appreciated if desserts come on disposable serve ware, and do not require utensils.

As in the world of dirt biking, we will gather rain or shine. Please don’t forget to dress appropriately for an outside service.

If you are in need of local accommodations, we are trying to get special rates at a few local hotels. We will update you as we get more information.

Many will likely gather at Troy’s favorite eatery “Vivace” for dinner and cocktails after the days’ services have concluded. This is a great opportunity to swap stories and just enjoy our friendships through Troy.

A reservation is highly recommended if you would care to join.

Again, thank you for all of the well wishes and thoughts... it makes all of the difference in the world to have so much love and support.

With Love-
The Collins Family

  1. Dearest Cindy, I'm sending you a CD of the Faure and Durufle Requiems. I've sung them many times around the world. When I think of Troy being welcomed into heaven - I hear this music. It will lift your spirit. Emmanuel - God with you. I'm sorry I can't physically be with you for the celebration - I am with you in spirit. Love, Your friend, Pam Cummings
