Correction, her passing was on March 5, not last week. Sorry for that error!
Good evening colleagues,
As some of you may have heard, Senator Susan Collins' mother passed away last week. We had a very positive meeting with her on the Hill during a very busy constituent coffee hour (along with Katie Brown and Allison Feikes) not knowing that she had just experienced
this loss. Kim Jones, COE President, passed along this information to share for anyone who might like to express their condolences.

Take care all,
