Dear Collins Family,
We want you all to know that we are praying for your family. We are Marge and Bob's friend and so happy Bill came all this way to pick them up so they could be with you all. And for God's safe travels all the way.
So sorry for your great loss and I know he was a great man. After all I here the stories from Marge. May God be with you all and know that prayers are coming from friends in Tennessee.
Our Love
Betty and Bill Bertrand
