Just heard of Colleens passing, I am so very saddened.
Colleen and I shared a friendship and many morning cups of coffee often meeting up at the fence between our homes.
Colleen had a big heart, was a hard worker and sure loved to cook for those she cared about.
Mention of her children or grand children always brought the biggest smiles and so much pride. Such love for them all!
To her family,to Gary, my family and I are just so sorry for your giant loss.
I will truely miss your kindness and friendship Miss Colleen, may you find peace at last.
