Now and Then

If you were to become ill and incapable of handling your personal

affairs or if you were to pass away, would anyone know where to 

find important information to assist with maintaining your care or 

handling your after-life affairs? Unfortunately, many individuals 

do not NOW have important documents readily accessible to 

assist their loved ones or caretakers during medical emergencies 

or death THEN.  

As a pastor and having personally endured sickness and death 

of family members and close friends, Dr. Norman Lee Van 

Collins, Sr. has authored the NOW and THEN GUIDE to create 

the awareness and the need for individuals to take a proactive 

approach NOW towards what can and will happen to all of us 

THEN as well as to provide a step-by-step, organized process 

for providing much needed information using fillable forms that 

can be completed and made accessible in the time of need.

According to Dr. Collins, "It is painful enough to see loved ones 

suffering and even more painful to experience their demise.  

However, the pain is only exacerbated when important documents

needed for the care of loved ones or their passing are not 

accessible and the stress encountered during the search of those 

documents."
