Sending up prayers for the Collins family It was a honor to see you in 2024. Take your rest and kiss my dad.
To My Collins Family,
My heartfelt condolences to the entire Collins family during this difficult time.
Although I never had the opportunity to meet you in person, Cousin Pam made sure that we connected by phone, and I am grateful for that blessing. Your kindness and spirit left an impression on my heart.
While we grieve your passing, we rejoice in knowing that you are now resting peacefully in the arms of Jesus. One day, I look forward to seeing you on the other side.
May God comfort and strengthen the family, and may cherished memories bring peace in the days ahead.
Rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus.
With love and prayers, Rev. Dr. Willitta Gordon-Hawkins 🙏🏾❤️🕊️ (One of James "Shaw Baby" Collins Girls)
