June 12, 2011
Video by Dr.Penelope Collins.

**Special Thanks To "Teddy" - Edward J Collins Jr for Putting together a Very Wonderful Celebration for Craig's Life. It was a Huge Success.**

I Spoke at My Brother's Life Memorial Celebration. My Eulogy if you will.

I loved him Deeply and will carry "The Gift" of Compassion he gave me for what remains of my life.

He Also Lead me to study the "Mysteries of Consciousness". In the late 1960's I asked Dr. Howard Thurman, "what is consciousness?" He replied, "I don't know, you must sort this one out on your own". The studies were just begining then.

Craig's Contribution; BECAUSE of his very Existence and fortunate circumstance of birth, to the Lives of Other Developmentally Disabled Citizens of Marin County, California and of America Is Legion. And Now The Stuff of Legends.

Rest In Peace, My Brother
Craig Shaw Collins - Jan. 1, 1951 to April 21, 2011

Thanks Alan - I will seriously consider the 'Book' Idea.

Nice job, Buddy. I left the memorial feeling really good. I hope you'll expand Craig's story to a book or article or whatever. It's a story that bears repeating.

This was a beautiful recognition of an extraordinary life. You combined the right amount of humor, passion, memories and emotion. You allowed your audience to see a personal side of Craig and his brothers and how you all interacted and through that just how special that relationship was to you all.
