Hattie Ruth Ward Collins

Charles, Terry and family...so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. May many fond memories comfort you all.

Dear Clysta,
I was saddened to hear of the loss of your wonderful Mother. When I met her and we spoke, she seemed to be such a gentle soul, talking happily about the family farm where she raised her children. And, where her husband still had a twinkle in his eyes for her. You told me that. Love and hugs to you during this very sorrowful time. Love, Nancy

Hattie's family is in my thoughts and prayers!

Charles and T.C. and all of your family,
We were so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a very special lady and always had a smile when we walked into the office at Oakland School to see her or Mr. May. She was blessed to live such a long life. Please hold those fun family memories in your heart. You are all in our prayers. Take care.

Hattie was a super sweet lady with a wicked sense of humor. She could be so funny. I always enjoyed running into her and Pierce. She lived a good life and was so proud of her family. May God Bless!

My sympathy to the Collins family. I remember your mother well at Oakland Church as I grew up. It was a life well lived!

We met Pierce and Hattie at the Blue Ridge Music Center shortly after we moved here from Ohio. Whenever we would see them anywhere, they were always so kind and welcoming to us. We always had such interesting conversations with them. AND oh yes! We loved their hats!
We extend our sincere sympathy to the family.
