Hello, my name is khloe im from dr mary mcleod bethune im in 5th grade now and i remember mr collin like he was my own family i used to stay by his side everytime i could and when i heard he died I couldn’t help but burst out into tears because I remember when i came in the school going to meet my teacher and i was looking for him but i couldnt find him so i thought he would come later on. But soon i found out he died so i just wanna say R.I.P to mr collin.

To my loving husband..  words cannot express how much you are missed and how much you were loved while you were here. I miss you more than anything in this world. There is not a day that goes by that I do not question God. I wish this was a dream that I could just wake up from.... But unfortunately this is my new reality. I miss you Bernard... Love you wife

We were so saddened to hear of the loss of Mr. Collins.  We send condolences and prayers for God’s healing and comfort to the family.  May you Rest In Peace, Mr. Collins.

To my friend and classmate Terrance Sr. I know this time is unbearably tough.  The unimaginable has happened and nothing seems to make since but you and I were brought up to lean on Gods understanding and not our own.  I pray for your peace of mind and that you remain in Gods presence during this trying time.  My God lift your family Into his arms and cover you in his love. 

My heartfelt prayers are for the family during this difficult time of bereavement. 
Love you all,

Dear Mary and family,
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I lost my husband 24 years ago and still treasure my memories of our precious life together. Please call me if you ever need to chat.

I would like to offer condolences to the family and I will keep you all in my prayers.
I am still speechless and I am so sorry for your loss.
RIP 
Lil Terrence


I send my love and prayers for healing and peace to the Collins family. May God bless you and be there with you during this time. Terrance was a wonderful person. I met him while we worked at Comcast a few years ago. He poured love and kindness into every person that he met. He brought laughter and joy to so many. He was very helpful and caring. We also enjoyed plenty of conversations about Anime and Gaming along with his goals for himself, Mary, and the kids  . Even after we both left Comcast, he continued to keep in contact and check up on me. He was truly a great friend and coworker. He will be dearly missed.  He was an angel on Earth. 

Mary,
I am so sorry to hear about your husband.  Just know your TLP family is keeping you in our prayers.
God Bless, Tina Noren

I GOT NOTHING BUT LOVE 4 YOU MARY MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS AND STRENGTHEN YOUR HEART IN THE NAME OF JESUS AMEN 

Lil Terr is what the family called you…even though you and your dad were almost the same size😘.
Your smile and fun loving  demeanor will surely be missed.  My last conversation with you on Thursday, July 2, 2021, will forever be on my mind and in my heart.  You assured me that you were in a good place emotionally and looking forward to rehab!
It has always been a pleasure to hear you call me auntie and Alex “Unk”.  The last time we saw each other in person , you were late as usual🥲.  In your defense, you were late because you told me that you were assisting your assistant principal after work.  
Thank you for loving me, and allowing me to love you and your family…Mary, Kennedi and Cam.  We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of your new family member, Mr. Kace.  RIP my nephew, Love Auntie Margaret and Uncle Alex.

Terrance,
You were God sent to Mary. I know in my heart this is true. I am sad God took you away.  I trust  God makes no mistakes and he knew this was the way. Your beautiful smile I will always remember. Keep smiling down on your family each and every day. 

Rest In Heaven,

Auntie Carla

Mary & Family,
May God give you peace to bring comfort. Courage and strength to face the days ahead. Beautiful memories of  your loving husband and father,Terrance Newkirk Collins remain in your heart forever...

With heartfelt condolences and love,

Auntie Carla, Chad, Alex and Kody~

I'm sending my love to you and your family, during your time of bereavement. I pray that God gives you strength. 
Love Ms.Moore 

Bo, I've heard it said that those who love, are reunited in eternity.  I pray that you find some comfort in this thought of  seeing your beloved son in paradise.  My deepest sympathy, 

Mr. Collins,
I will always remember your kindness and warmth you showed to the many students attending speech and language therapy. When you walked in the classroom to assist in helping me with my many IT disasters, they all had their attention on you, doing whatever they could do to get you to look at them and pay attention to whatever it was they were doing.
Working with you was always a pleasant, easygoing, experience for which I will truly miss. 
My prayers and condolences to your wife, children and family.

I still can't believe you are gone! I'm still trying to wrap my mind around all of this, hoping that it's just a bad dream! Thank you for loving my cousin, Mary! You were an amazing husband and father! You are truly going to be missed, but don't worry, we will make sure Mary and the children are taken care of! You will never be forgotten and we love you and will forever cherish you memory in our hearts! Love from Bernard, Andrea, and Maya Macon! 

To The Family I Leave My Deepest Sympathy. Mary I Love You So Much I’m Here For You And The Family Your In My Prayers Daily. 

WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU DURING THIS TIME 

Collins! This seems so unreal. 🥺  I remember when you first started at Bethune! Over the few years we worked together you were a great friend. I could always count on you to be a listening ear when I needed to vent or share stories about my crazy kids (students). You were like Superman! You literally were all over the school helping out in just about every capacity. You were one of a kind. I will miss stopping and chatting with you in the hall, you teasing me about being short, or you coming in my room to get candy. It’s going to be HARD walking past Room 226 for a long time. I can’t believe it! 😢 My sincerest prayers to your family. You will be missed, man. 

T thanks for being there for my boys in school (Eden & Phillip) knowing that it was hard for me to tell them I had two an they question to me was Why with tears in their eyes One thing I told them is we can’t question God knowing I know this is tough for all of us I’m praying for your family and wife and kids they needed it the most LORD I ASK YOU TO KEEP THEIR MIND BODY AND SOUL GIVE THEM STRENGTH TO CONTINUE THIS JOURNEY  as a childhood friend from 37st behind the flea I’m hear to say you will be missed ❤️❤️❤️

Collins was such a great co worker to me when I was at Bethune with him! He taught me how to keep on principal Granger’s good side, how to survive  THE Slaughter, AND most importantly he was a great friend. I will miss him dearly!! 

From our family to yours our condolences May God continue to keep you during this time our prayers are with you

Mary, I am so sorry for your lost.  You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏽❤️

My condolences and prayers go out to the parents and family for words can't express the loss and pain at the loss of my nephew.  I  can remember his love of video games and computers as he try to  teach me how to play games.  Though you are gone, your spirit and gentle kindness will never be forgotten. 
Love you forever my nephew Terrence. 

My prayers are with each and everyone of you. I pray for continued strength during this difficult time. All of the memories will keep him alive forever in your hearts 💛

May God build a hedge of protection around you and your family. Words cannot express how much I will miss him calling me "Mama Slaughter"
God Bless!

Words can’t express the presence of what your life meant to many people. You are an angel to us and your family now. You are an amazing person brother. You will be missed. And we will cherish all your memories brother. Love you man. 

Mr Collins 
I was so fortunate to be able to work with you over 3 years   You were ALWAYS there when anyone needed you for help support or just some reassurance. I always marveled at how you were able to be everywhere all the time helping everyone. You never said no!  You will be greatly missed by everyone that knew you Prayers to your family and all those that loved you. 

With our deepest sympathy to the Collins family and everyone our condolences . We pray for strength and understanding during this hard time.  Mary we are thinking of you be encourage we love you all.

My friend, for the short time that I have had the pleasure of working with you it was  great.  From sharing the children stories of who does what and why they did it to laughing about "they really tried me " moments.  You will be truly missed. I have said it before and I'll say it again thank you for teaching me those mini IT lessons. Even after I really messed up. You and Ms. Crummell got me back on track. Thank you, you will be missed. 😔🙏💙

Mrs. Mary I am so very sorry for your loss I really don't have the words to say but I can say this it's god's plan and we must trust in him I know it's hard but God is the author of our lives he writes the chapters. I just know God has his arms around you and the kids. Again I'm so very sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences. Remember God still sits on the throne!!!

Trina,

I am so very sorry for your loss.    Terrance was such a sweet young man.   He and Joey were like brothers.    He will truly be missed!


I will keep you and his family in our prayers!


Love
Sharon  & Joey Torres

Mary,
I just heard of your husband's passing.  I am so very sorry.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dearest Mary and family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. May God grant you peace through the loving memories you shared.
With sorrow,
Val Stanley

Terrance it's hard for me to write this message. You were ALWAYS there when I needed you. Those times when I needed to talk, when I was having technical issues, when I needed to laugh, or when we had to complete an assignment you were ALWAYS there.  I don't know how you did it, but you figured out how to be in two places at once because you were there for everyone else as well.  We always joked about your "super power" of being able to fall asleep on demand; I swear I wish this was just another moment of you displaying that power 😪. You will be missed so much and we will continue the good work at Bethune in your name, and make sure your family has everything they need. Continue to watch over us from above because we still need you. Love you brother❤❤🕊🕊

I couldn’t believe the day you walked into Bethune and we realized we went to Northboro together! Then of course you had to pull out the Elementary school pics to show everyone my horrible haircut! You were such a great coworker and friend. I don’t know who I’m going to run to with all my stories now. Miss you lots already ❤️

I was lucky enough to work with Mr. Collins at Bethune Elm. Though  it was brief, I am blessed to have  gotten a chance to see what a great man he was. I will miss him dearly and I extend my sympathies to his wife, kids, and the family!

My Condolences to my Brother  Terrence  and  Terrence Jr's  wife and kids. May God be with yall during this most difficult time 🙏 



You walked into Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary School not having a clue what you had signed up for, but you saw something in me that you felt could help you navigate thru the uncertainties of a new school. That turned into a brother connection. We worked hard together! We laughed. We cried. We gave Bethune our best! You taught me more about computers in a couple of months than 2 years of college. My heart is soooo broken, but I do know that God has you in a far better place than here. We will make sure Mary, Kam, Kennedi, and Kace never lack anything, and will always remember your love for them! Until we meet again, Midnight! Brothers 4 Eva!✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Terrance and I would have great advocate conversations on Facebook. I do alot of political posts and he would always leave a positive comment. Condolences to his family and wife Mary. PBL High Rams Class of 2009!

Mr. Collins, it was an honor to be your friend/brother. I love you brother and I know you now have gained your wings! I will think of you daily as I remember all the good times we shared. Until we meet again my brother! Love you ❤️

My brother! I will always remember you. You best believe that. From Northboro Elementary, to Roosevelt Middle, to Palm Beach Lakes Community High School.  North Shore neighborhood!! We on there!! I love you bruh 🤙🏿
