To the family of Essence McCollum:
We hope that you are able to find peace somehow during these trying times. My family and I were the last ones to see Essence before God called her home, and she was HAPPY!!!! You have our word on that! Essence will be truly missed. We love her and think of her everyday. Thanks to Kache and June for your patience and understanding even through your loss. God has a plan for ALL of us. We LOVE YOU ESSENCE!

Essence
I always took for granted,
what I thought I'd never lose.
Because I never thought it would happen,
until I heard the dreaded news.
They say you were chosen for God’s garden,
His preciously handpicked bouquet.
"God really needed her,
That's why she couldn't stay."
Saying goodbye is never simple,
It's the hardest thing to perform.
But what hurts even more
Is not having a chance to say it to you.
So today, Jesus, as you are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my Essence,
And give her all my love!

Shay,MeQuan- my heart is broken I am many miles away from you but my heart is there with you. I will miss Essence sooo much (my other niece). Sylkira and Quilandis are extremely hurt. The news crushed me Shay I am having a very very hard time with this but God is in control and he knows what's best. I will forever remember the trip to Geneva on the Lake.. we had a wonderful time and that is a time to look back on and cherish the memories. Your Baby is resting in the bossom of God he is comforting her more than any of us could have ever done here on earth. Sylkira and Quilandis said they will pray for you and always remember the fun they had with Essence. I am praying every day for you and all of us that we may seek comfort during this time. I love you and your family May God Bless and keep you all.. Remember that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. If you need anything please call me. Im sorry I won't be able to make it there to be with you because you know that I would, I just got out of the hospital and that is the only reason I can't make it. Just know that I am there with you in spirit and in the heart. Essence- Beautiful Angel you accepted your wings and took flight on a journey that we will all take one day and will see you again. I want you to know we love you and we miss you. Rest Angel and Sleep Well.. Love you always-Sylvia, Quilandis, and Sylkira

To Kache', June and Family:
My deepest condolences on the lost of your "Little Baby". I remember how happy you all were during the pregancy, birth and her childhood. You all are excellent parents. You all made sure that spending time with Esscence and her siblings were a priority. Remember those times. The "flesh" is very selfish and wonders "why";but the "soul n spirit" KNOWs that GOD makes no mistakes.

GOD HAS PLACED ESSENCE IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE WHERE GOD CAN WATCH OVER HER AND BE HER LEADER. I DIDN'T KNOW ESSENCE BUT I DO KNOW HER UNCLE MIKE STEWART AND I DO HAVE CHILDREN OF MY OWN AND COULD NOT BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT ESSENCE FAMILY IS GOING THROUGH. MY DEEPEST PRAYERS GOES OUT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND ALWAYS REMEMBER THERE ARE BETTER DAYS TO COME AND ESSENCE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU ALL IN SPIRIT AND SOLEMN MIND.
