"Dear Family of David Collins,
I was in shock when my mom had told me about the death of David. I know David from high school and it just really hit me hard but I know it wasn't as hard as it had been for you, the family. I cried and cried not believing that he was no longer alive but I know that he is with the Lord rejoicing evermore. I pray that his children will grow up knowing what a wonderful, caring and loving father they had. I have known David for about 10 years and think about him from time to time as well as his wife and children. May God bless you always."
