John Robert Collins

John and I have been friends since we were 3 yrs old. I remember Homer taking us to baseball games since John and I started playing ball the same day. We started playing golf the same day. As a matter of fact we did both good and bad things starting the same day. I think we were twins born in different houses. I will miss him very much. A 52 year friendship is a blessing and one that you don't get over easily.

God watched John as he suffered; He knew he had had his share. He gently
closed his weary eyes, and took him into His care. Your memory is our keepsake,
with that we will never part. God has you in His keeping; we have you in our
hearts. I have been truly blessed to have known you and been loved by you.

My prayers are with you.

To the Collins family, revelation 21:4, God shall wipe away all our tears. May God give you strength in the days ahead, Thank you for the love that you have shown for my mother, doris. She dearly loves this family. I have grown to love you also, in seeing the christian compassion that you have for everybody. May God Bless You. Andreline Powell daughter of Doris Fair.

Dophalene, Courtnye, and Shanna -
My heart goes out to you all. You are such wonderful women of faith who will miss your husband & father tremendously. Draw on that faith in the coming months for strength, as I pray that the comfort of the Holy Spirit will be ever apparent.

"The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace."'
Numbers 6:24-26

My thoughts and prayers and with Courtnye and her entire family. I have many fond memories of Mr. Collins--he'll remain in my thoughts as a funny, warm, and kind man, who raised a wonderful family.

The Jasso Family would like to express our deepest and sincere sympathy toward the Collins family. Our son Joey played baseball for John with the Orioles during his 6th grade year. This was Joeys return to competitive baseball in 5 years. Mr. Collins made him enjoy the game again and is now, which he gives John credit for, enjoying the game and being successfull at it in high school. Our thoughts and prayers are with Josh and the rest of the Collins family. May God Bless you all.
