For a boy who lost his parents

On the morning of April 17th, 2018, our family received the devastating news that Maggie Collins; daughter, sister, friend and most importantly, MOTHER to a beautiful 5 year old boy passed away in a tragic car accident. This page is for the benefit of her son Peter and to give Maggie the beautiful memorial service she deserves.
          Peter (Baby Pete) is in the care of family as he also lost his father Pete Gonzalez Jr. on February 26th,  2016.  Baby Pete is and always will be Momma's boy. He and his mother were as close as two souls can be. With his fathers passing Maggie went above and beyond to be everything to her son and more. She always made sure he was the center of her world and the people around her. Peter is only 5 years old and has
experienced more loss than most of us.
          My name is Garrett Nilan. Maggie is my sister. I have put together this page to celebrate Maggie's beautiful life and help my nephew live the hopes and dreams of his parents.  Your donations will go towards a memorial service for Maggie who is survived by Peter, my mother, Barbara Collins, my brothers Charles (CeeJay) Collins, Dylan Nilan and Myself.  Maggie is also survived by her long time companion Ryan Holsten, Anita Gonzalez, Linda Gonzalez, Deborah Mauriello and Vincent (Uncle Vinnie) Mauriello.
        The proceeds will also benefit the future educational needs of Peter and keeping him involved in his favorite activities with family and friends. For the rest of my life I am going to do all that I can to ensure my nephew lives as normal and happy a life as possible. A life his parents will look down, smile, and be proud of. Thank you for helping me do this for him.
