I have just recently began to research my family History again and I have read many of Brenda's posts on various Genforums and the SaponiTown forum. I have recently found out that I have Collins in my line also and now I find out she has passed. I wish I could've had the opportunity to coorespond with her. She will be a great loss to Melungeon and Saponi research.She will be missed. God Speed.
A Sioux Prayer
Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds,
Whose breath gives life to the world, hear me,
I come to you as one of your many children,
I am small and weak,
I need your streangth and wisdom,
Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes,
So that when life fades as the fading sunset,
May my spirit come to you without shame.
