My thoughts and prayers are with you family. Family, I am sorry that I couldn't be there with you, as I am recovering from knee surgery. Junie and I, have been dear friends since our youth in Hopewell. Junie was a beautiful gentle soul, who placed everyone at ease. We played sports, dreamed about life, and most of all...laughed. Even when we were teenagers - I truly understood your pain and struggles - and appreciated how you always tried to handle matters in a dignified manner. I will miss my old "running" buddy, dear friend and cool cousin.

To The Collins family, you have my deepest condolences during this difficult time. Fernando was one of my face book friends and when football season was in I could always count on him making comments concerning DEM BOYS lol! God makes no mistakes and now my friend you are at Peace with the Heavenly Father.
