To Family and Friends of Frank Collins:
Our heartfelt condolences and sympathies to the family. I first met Frank in mid 1970's in North Richmond. Then I would run into him downtown walking with his pipe in his hand. Whenever we stopped and talked he had something good to say about life and living. You always knew where he stood on things. He loved to be around folks. Frank served as Vice President and was a dedicated member of the St. Peter Male Chorus. He had a good voice and loved to sing. Frank Collins will be missed.
From Labor to Reward. To God be the glory!!

To the family of Frank Collins, Please accept my sincere condolences. Frank was a great guy and a credit to St. Peter Baptist Church and to its male chours, he will be surely missed.

It's an honor, and certainly a real pleasure, to have sung with Frank in the St. Peter Baptist Church Male Chorus. His impressive leadership and soulful baritone style, not to mention his signature-color-coded hand towels to control the sweat on his brow, has permanently imprinted our mission of sharing the "Good News" of Jesus Christ. It is fitting that, during this special Christmas celebration period, God has called him home to further his mission. That Heavenly Gospel Choir is fortunate to now have such a strong voice and character such as Frank's. May God continue to bless his family during this difficult time.
