It is with heavy hearts that the family of

Howard Collins announce his tragic passing

in a motor vehicle accident on April 20, 2008

the simple things in life and his quiet faith

in God. Howard was a devoted father and

treasured the time spent with his loved ones.

He will be deeply missed by the love of his

life, his children Andrew and Michelle Collins

of Vernon; his mother Lillian Collins-Amlin

and Johnny Amlin of Lethbridge, Alberta; his

brother Les Collins (Shelley) of Lethbridge,

Alberta and his sister Norma Barsness (Bob)

of Birchcliff, Alberta; as well as nieces and

nephews. He was predeceased by his father

Allan Collins.

A celebration of his life with family and friends

was held at Vernon Christian Fellowship at

4506-29th St in Vernon, BC on Friday, April

25 at 1:00 p.m.

In lieu of fl owers, friends may make

donations to Vernon Christian Fellowship’s
