Colleen,

You will be greatly missed! Your time with us was too short.

My condolences to the family. I briefly worked with Colleen and we immediately made a connection. Could be because we're both from "home" in New England. I hope you receive comfort through your fond memories of Colleen during this difficult and tragic time.
Kindly,

Paul Keough

I am so saddened to learn of Colleen's passing. I am sad for me not for her. I am sad that I will not be able to talk with her at the end of the day and laugh till I have tears down my face. Colleen is one of the funniest, quick witted person I have ever met and I hope that the souls that she is with now will appreciate her sense of humor and kindness as much as I have.
