In sad but loving memory of our wonderful family.





Michael Joseph Collins Snr
Theresa (Teasie) Collins Nee McIlhone
Baby Barney Collins
Harry (Hen) Collins
Michael Joseph Collins Jnr

Michael Collins was born in the Markets area in 1921. Teasie McIlhone was born in Baker Street in the Pound Loney area of the Falls Road in 1921. The two married and raised their family in Lavinia Street on the Ormeau Road. Their first born child Barney died in infancy of convulsions. Michael Snr was in the Navy in his younger days, he died in 1984 from cancer.
His wife Teasie was a stall-holder in St Georges Market in the Markets area of Belfast where she was a well-known character. She had one arm amputated during her 40s but carried on with her life. In later years she lived in Powerscourt Place on the Ormeau Road where she was surrounded by her devoted family until she died after a short illness at Christmas time in 1997.

They were survived by their children Michael, Harry, Breege, Mary, Belle, Rosie & Teasie and their many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Harry lived in Hatfield Street and later Essex Street on the Ormeau Road always staying close to home. He enjoyed a smoke and a drink with his many friends. Harry passed away suddenly & unexpectantly 2 years after the death of his mother in Oct 1999.

Michael (Mr Fix It!) spent time living in London & Farnborough but always returned home to Belfast. He had one daughter Natalie and he now has a young grandson Shea and a new baby grandson Fionn whom he never got a chance to meet. Michael jnr died in Oct 2003 just 3 weeks after being diagnosed with cancer.

They are all sorely missed by their children, sisters, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and great-grandchildren and the wider family circle.

Their memory lives on in all of us.

Good Night God Bless & God Spare Us xoxoxoxo


Thinking of the day when you went away what a life to take what a bond to break we'll be missing you

A SPECIAL PRAYER FROM OUR LORD ABOVE.

I'm writing this from heaven, where I dwell with God above.
Where there's no more tears or sadness, there's just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
And I will stay beside you, every day, week and year
And when you're sad I'll still be there to wipe away your tears.
When you think of my life on earth and all those living years
Because your only human their bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain
Remember there wouldn't be flowers unless we first had rain.
I wish I could tell you of all that God has planned
But even if I were able to, you wouldn't understand.
When your going down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps and only half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentle breeze or wind upon your face
Remember it's only me with a loving and soft embrace.

P.S. God sends His Love.xxxx.

Granda's 26th Anniversary!

When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.

Lots of love Granda on your 26th anniversary away from home. Your grand-daughter Theresa.

Saint Theresa pray for him. R.I.P.

We had a dad with a heart of gold who suffered so much but never told. A friend to all his last he'd give, no better dad has ever lived. We miss his smile and joking ways, we miss the things he used to say and when old times we do recall it's then we miss him most of all.

Sorely missed and never forgotten by your heartbroken daughters Breege, Mary, Belle, Rosie, Teasie, grandchildren and entire family circle.
