Today marks four years since we lost Mark “Pop” Collins, Waylon, Carson, Hudson, and Bryson.
Four years later, their absence is still felt. There are moments when the grief feels fresh, memories that bring both smiles and tears, and reminders that love does not end when someone is gone.
The hurt is still there, because the love is still there.
Over the past four years, we have watched their legacy live on through acts of kindness, service, scholarships, friendships, and a community that continues to remember. While we would trade every accomplishment, every scholarship, and every tribute for one more day with them, we are grateful that their lives continue to inspire others to love deeply, serve generously, and cherish the people around them.
Today, we remember five lives that left an imprint on countless hearts. We remember their laughter, their unique personalities, the joy they brought to those around them, and the love they shared so freely. Their stories did not end on June 2, 2022. They continue to live on in the people they touched and the lives that continue to be changed in their honor.
As we reflect on this day, we pray for peace that only Heaven knows, for comfort for those who miss them most, and for the strength to continue carrying their legacy forward.
Forever loved.
Forever missed.
Forever remembered.
Forever Collins Strong.
❤️💙❤️💙❤️
