Remembering Mr. Collins and the Collins: What great people!

CM Note: The funeral service for Mr. Luther Collins at Columbia United Methodist Church, 202 Burkesville ST, Columbia, KY

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Just a few words of kindness for the wonderful Collins Family. I remember back in the early 60s my sister Mary worked at the Corner Drug Store for the Collins.

She really loved them. I remember going to the store many times to visit her. There was Dorothy with her beautiful smile and Mr. Collins talking with all the customers.

When one of the family was sick and needed medicine they saw you got it with paying then or later. My mother is now at Summit Manor Nursing Home it was there the last time I saw Mr. Collins.

They were serving dinner in the dining room there. My mom walked over to him and asked him if he knew her. Even though he couldn't speak he nodded his head and smiled.

She also said, "you always let us have our medicine with or without money." Mr. Collins, also being the great man he was, smiled at her and nodded.

In my heart I know he knew what she was saying.

What great people! God Bless you, the Collins family.

And thank you, Mr. Collins.

What if we had more people in the world like this today. God Bless you, Brenda, for what you do everyday.

s/Alice Smith Robinson
