We will never forget the gentle smile of our Dear Sister, Alice Collins. She graced the congregation of New Hope Full Gospel Church for many years. We feel honored to have had time with her for services at New Hope.
Deacon Floyd Collins was a faithful leader at New Hope and held many positions. He was respected and loved not only by our family, but the entire New Hope Family. Even though they left to return to Louisiana several years ago, they have never left our thoughts and hearts.
The Word of God says, absent from the body, present with the Lord. So, we can rest assured that our sister is somewhere around the throne of God receiving her just rewards. She has gone from labor to reward. This gives us the peace and comfort we need and we pray the same is true for each family member and friend.
Our Deepest Sympathy to the Family, Love, Stan and Gwen Mosley
My condolences to my classmates family, may Alice rest in paradise ‼️🙏🏾♥️
