Cora Collins was married at age 16 years, she spent her life as a mother and preachers wife, her favorite Bible verse was Romans 8:28...it turned out to be a family verse - as she always included it in all of her cards and letters. We loved her in life and miss her now that she is in Heaven with grandfather and our other family members. They are in a far better place then we are.
In honor of my grandmother and with all my love I dedicate this page to her and to my wonderful father - George H. Collins.
