Russell Allen Collins

Vicki,
I just recently spoke with Robin and was so very saddened to hear about Russell. I know we are just friends of friends but we very much enjoyed seeing you guys at Christmas and hearing Russell's stories and wonderful infectious laugh. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God will give you strength rest in HIm.
With love, John, Debbie and Katrina Godbee

Vicki,
Our deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Bobby & Phyllis Rosenbusch and Family

Vicki,
To know Russell was to love Russell. The "Northsiders" are a tight-knit group, and Russell was a big part of that. His smile will be missed, but never forgotten. He was lucky to have had you at his side for all these years and we were lucky to call him our friend. Please know that we'll always be there if you need us for anything. Our lives might have taken us in different directions, but you and Russell have always been special to us. We'll miss him more than words can say. ...

Dear Vicki,

I"m so sorry to hear of Russells death. Mary Martin called me Friday and told me. It will be so hard to deal with it but remember to trust God and his Grace.
With Love, Freda Carpenter Martin

Vicki and Girls I'm so sad to hear the news of Russells passing. It has been a long time since seeing Russell.I remember how proud he was of the Girls Barrel racing. He did our Horses Farrier work and did a GREAT JOB! and yes his BIG SMILE was so uplifting. My prayers are with you.

Vicki and family,as mentioned by so many, his smile was his trademark. Russell will be missed by all who knew him. Our prayers are with you all. The McPeak Family, and Randy DeFord

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I'm, one of the Nacogdoches cousins. My Dad Willie,(Son) is a first cousin to Harold. I had not seen Russell since we were kids, but have fond memories of him. May God Bless you and keep you close.

Vicki, I am so sorry to hear about Russell, my prays and thoughts are with you and your family.

Vicki and Girls, I heard about this a few days ago and it is still not sinking in. Sometimes I think God gets confused and takes the wrong people at the wrong time. That smile and laugh will be missed. Please give the girls a hug for me and those babies. Maybe one day we will understand.
Love to all of you,
