My deepest condolences to the family. I know Elgin is in Heaven continuing his musical journey alongside my husband Meechie. I listen to the songs they created together and with my eyes closed I see them both enjoying what they put together, Elgin on the sound board while Meechie is on the microphone.The joking going back and forth between the two was infectious. It was a pleasure getting to know you my friend. Rest in peace.
May we express our deepest sympathy in the loss of your loved one. May God bless, comfort, and keep all family members and friends. Sincerely, Lillian West Collins, Madelyn Collins Hill and husband, Connor Hill
