Joyce & Art, I am so sorry for your loss. I was in the hospital having my first child when Ace passed. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. That invitation is ALWAYS open. You both were so sweet and generous to me. Ace was loved and will be remembered forever! I just spoke to him the week before and as usual he was his outgoing self. He worked with my dad and Ceradyne for a few years and all the guys at Ceradyne send their condolences. He will be missed tremendously. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dear Collins family,
My name is Steven and I am Nick's brother, I was good friends with Ace in High School. Him & I have not spoken in a few years, I got married soon after High school and lost touch. I recently found out who was with Nick and it was a shock to me. I lost a brother and a good friend. I am truly sorry for your loss. My condolences are with you and your family, I pray for gods blesssing to your family. I know they are both in heaven, Nick was a believer and he cared about anyone he ever knew. I would like to visit my friend Ace at his resting place. I would like to know where he has been laid to rest. Please contact me at: 678-449-7178

Sincerley,

Steven Thompson & Family

Joyce & Art, praise is a celebration of the Lord. The natural human response to these troubled times is self-pity, praising Him anyway will recall the Lord's mighty acts and applaud His past work & faithfulness. Praise forcuses your attention on God and He alone is faithful to see you through.
