My prayers are with Linda, Stephanie and the Collins Family. So many wonderful memories from Jerusalem.

Stephanie Walker (Parson)

I remember Mo & Bishop Collins from Jerusalem church in ATL. She was a strong WOG and she didn't take sides when I needed to have conversations. Mo S. Collins was a prime example of a Christian that loved the Lord. Love you and prayers for the Collins family.

I love you mom. In the future there is reserved for me the [victor's] crown of righteousness [for being right with God and doing right], which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that [great] day—and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved and longed for and welcomed His appearing. II Timothy 4:8(NIV). We will be together again. We are going to celebrate how we overcame all of life's struggles. When we see Jesus Amen. - Always in love and kindness, your daughter Stephanie
