Condolences to the Collins family.
Marcus had a refreshing and beautiful personality. He was always smiling or making someone laugh. Never a dull moment. His singing always took me back to church. He will be truly missed. May his soul rest peacefully.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4
