Only recently found out about Colleen's passing. Although I had not seen or been in touch with her since my family moved from Twinbrook in 1970, I remember many good times we had as children. RIP, Colleen and may God place a special blessing upon those who loved you.

Remembering Colleen who was so wise and thoughtful even at a young age when I knew her. And beautiful inside and out. She was a perfect friend to me and so many others. I did not know she was gone. She will be remembered with love, always.
