To Christine, Denise and the Collins Family -

Please accept my heartfelt condolences during your most difficult time.

Sorry I couldn´t make the service. (Attended another funeral that same day - one I learned at the last minute).

As always, I will continue to keep you all in prayer. May our Lord Jesus Christ, give you all the strength and courage you´ll need as you continue to live out his most loving and wonderful memories.

May those memories bring a smile to your face with complete joy and peace!

To the Collins family please accept my sincere prayers and condolences. I met Dez while working at Pan American Life many years ago.. We shared the same Barber "Danny Divine's". He was such cool, calm and collective brother. Rest In Peace in Jesus Arms.

My condolences to the Collins family. I met Ardessie at Xavier University in 1973. He was a guy that everybody liked. He was always even tempered and easy going. May he rest in peace.
