Mrs. Collins had a lasting and positive impact on my life. When she started teaching me to play the piano, she was worried that I would not be able to play because my hands were so small. But she never gave up on me and I did learn. I will miss her and never forget her. Now she plays with Beethoven, Mozart, and the rest of the master musicians in heaven. I know that the music around God's throne will be sweeter with Mrs. Collins on the keyboard and the accordian.
Love,
