Condolence & Memory Journal
Some of my fondest memories of attending First Baptist Church of Merrifield as a young person was experiencing the choir's performance on first Sundays under the direction of Guy V. Collins, Jr. He brought a regalness to the role, and the joy I felt from his music was nothing short of heavenly. It is with these memories that I hold dear, I offer my sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

Geneva and Family.
We know Guy will be truly missed by you and the family. He will also be missed by all of us at MCBC-Fairfax. Jimmy was just speaking of him the other day and how well he is preserved for his age. He didn't know we call him "the bionic man". MCBC will not be the same without him. Blessings. Jimmy and Ceyonne
