Mac and family, I have been out of town and just now learned of your father's passing. I am deeply sorry and know that God has you in his hand at this difficult time. Your dad was a great guy and I always enjoyed his time with me. I will miss him deeply.

Lu Ann & Mac, Jan and I want to express our heartfelt condolences and offer our prayers in this time of sorrow. Mac, when someone says "kind and honorable gentleman", the image of your dad always comes to mind. My experiences with him were not very numerous, but rather than harbor regrets at missed opportunities I wish to express gratitude for having known such a fine gentleman. We hold you in our thoughts and prayers, and his memory in our hearts. Howard D.(Bubba) & Jan Wamsley

What a pleasant man. I ate my meals with Mr. Collier at Dulop House daily and always enjoyed his company. Only knew him several months, but just a fantastic loving individual. May God bless him and his wonderful family

Deepest sympathy to the Collier family. I had the great pleasure of knowing "Nat" when he was at Pittsburgh Paint in Petersburg. He was a great human being and I know he will be truly missed.

Jenny, Taking care of your father and seeing what a wonderful man he was made me realize why I became a nurse in the first place. Remember now that you will always have a guardian angel watching over you. He was an angel among us all and the nursing staff that cared for him are blessed for having the privilege of knowing him. With my deepest sympathy in your time of need.

Nat was one of the finest men I have ever had the privalege of serving as his pastor and serving along side in the Church. He was a wise and gentle man who kept a positive attitude of faith, humor and joy in his life and heart. I'm sorry for the family's loss and I know it is a great one. However, please take solice in knowing that if there was ever a man who is receiving a warm and welcoming hug and hearing these words from Jesus, "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of thy Lord." it's this fine man of humble love and faith. I considered Nat not just a member of Ettrick UMC, but a loving, mentoring friend. I know my wife Edris will weep also when I tell her of his passing.
