Memorial website in the memory of your loved one
This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Collin Bates who was born in Maryland on March 31, 2007 and passed away on April 12, 2007 . We will remember him forever.   Collin Andrew went to be with his twin sister Breeana Nicole and Jesus at 1:16am.  He leaves behind Mommy, Daddy and big brother Jacob.  He will be dearly missed by two set of grandparents:  Jack & Rose Wainglass and Ron & Debbie Bates.  We had a few more days with Collin than we did with Breeana and he was my strength to get me through her passing.  He made me smile so big for his fight.  Like Breeana, I cried cleansing tears for you too Collin.  Tears of joy knowing that you have no more pain and that you are healed sitting next to Jesus and Bree!

Unlike Breeana, Collin was a calm baby in the womb!  I know he probably was wondering what was going on the night her water broke and why he had to go to!  Doctors referred to him as "Baby B" and I referred to him as my sweet baby boy Collin Andrew.  Though our time was brief, thank you for every second that you gave me to spend with you.  I will see you again in Heaven!
