Betty Lou Weatherford Collins

We are so sorry for the loss of your dear wife and precious mother. Betty was always a gracious hostess and welcomed us in such a loving way. She was an excellent cook too! She was devoted to her family and what an influence she made. She was a wonderful role model of a godly wife, mother, and woman. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched, especially through her children and grandchildren. She was an inspiration to me and to others. We will miss her but will always remember her sweetness. May the Lord give you strength as you face the days ahead and the void you have in your hearts. You are in our prayers.

Much love,
Jane & Jerry

Dear Karen and Family,

How my heart hurts for the grief you are experiencing but how I rejoice with you knowing that your mother is home with Jesus and receiving her Heavenly reward. Praise God for His promise of eternal life awarded to those who love His son, Jesus.
I remember Mrs. Collins so fondly from the few times I met her in high school. When I saw her recently, she was just as beautiful and gracious as I recalled.

Hold fast to the Lord and to one another during this difficult time. Knowing that this is "so long for a while" and not "good-bye" will sustain you in the days, weeks and years to come.

May the God of all wisdom and grace fill you with His Holy Spirit to comfort you and guide you all the days of your life. May you cling to His promise of Hope which is found in knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The faith you have in El Shaddai, the God who is sufficient, will see you through.
God's blessings on you all.
Much love and prayers,

Dale -

Our sincere condolences to you and your family. Betty and you are special people, brother Bob and Irma consider you guys family so I guess that includes us. Betty is with her Lord waiting for the rest of the family. Remember that old hymnal, "When we all get to Heaven what day of rejoicing that will be" and be happy.

Amen and God bless

Betty truly is one of the great mom's, wife and friend of all time. I feel I was very blessed to have known her and had the opportunity to have seen her live her life of Love for her family and friends. A Godly woman with unwavering faith that helped many people know God's love and kindness also his patience and forgiveness.

May God place his hand of comfort on Dale and all the family as each goes through this difficult time. We love you all very much and pray you will feel God's presence.

Betty--wife of our cousin Dale-- was beautiful inside and out. Such a gracious hostess, kind and caring. So alert and attentive to others.

She will be missed by the entire (extended) Williams family.

Love to Dale and family from his Uncle Tom's branch of the Williams family.

Dear sweet friends,
You are all in our prayers as you walk this path together. It is an encouragement to watch as you all lean on the Lord's strength and on each other to make it through this very difficult time. Never forget that you are all loved and that your "church family" is right here if you ever need us! Miss Betty was one of the most gracious, kindest ladies we've ever had the blessing to meet. She has left her mark on many; she was greatly loved; and, she will be greatly missed.
Much love,
Mike and Kitty

Your sweet Betty (wife/sweetheart, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, & friend) touched our lives as she did many others with her sweet, loving, caring Christlike hands & heart. What a beautiful reflection of her Lord she was as she allowed Him to live through her. You are all in our prayers as you walk through this very hard time adjusting to her physical absence. We know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, yet we know you will miss her so very much.
Love in Christ,
Herb & Adell Reeves
