Francis Collins, former member of The Crystals
My personal friend, Fatima Johnson, formerly known as Frances Collins, passed away on Christmas Eve. She was the last lady to join the already well known group, The Crystals - La La Brooks, Dee Dee Kinniebrew and Barbara Alston. Fatima was already a trained dancer when she joined The Crystals. After The Crystals broke up, she was a dance teacher at the same studio she was trained in down in Florida. She was a teacher and mentor to the end. Her son is well known in the rap/hip hop community - Prodigy. Fatima was a beautiful person, inside and out.
Fatima, I will miss you immensely, and know that La La and myself will love you forever more.
