Sun Ilona Max And James sorry to hear of Collins passing. I know we are greedy when losing a love one but we know that he is in a better place. He has held a special place in our hearts for his thoughtfulness on always dropping by to visit with the Mabus Family. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Always Loved thru good times and bad times. Will forever be in my heart. As much as it hurts to know that Collins isn't here with us anymore, I have to remember that He has moved on to a far more better place.
