Even though I had seen Collins only one time since we were kids, My heart goes out to My uncle Jean, my cousins Tish, John-martin and Carlos. You know, you never know when God will call you home but, remember that God does know what he is doing. Even though our family is sad, you must remember that our life on earth is just a pit stop. Collins is okay. He is with Mildred now and all of our other family members and one day we will all see him again.



I'm so sorry that Ashley, My husband Tiran and I will not be able to come home. We have been praying for you all. I just hope that everyone will remember how precious life is and just cheerish each and every day that God gives us and to never forget that he will never forsake us. God bless you all. I will always love each and every one of family members forever.

The Porter family would like to share our prayers with your family. Tish and John, It is okay to shed a few tears. But, Collins always had a smile on his face no matter what was happening. So, wipe away those tears because joy come in the morning. We all love this sweet loving person but, we will see him again one day. No, he is did not deserve to leave this way. But, God has mended his wounds and wiped away all his pain. Love you all take care. Send me a message of the funeral date. Debbie Shoal Creek in R-8 next door to Sharon and Nikki.
