I remember when Colleen found our cat that had been trapped in GB's basement for two weeks. She was just as excited as we were to see her rescued! She had a big heart that cared about the creatures around us. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Tom and Delores ~ I can't imagine your loss. God bless you all as you grieve...

Colleen was kind and had such a generous spirit. She often sought ways to help with the children's programming at her church which always such a blessing for the kids. God's peace to her family and friends.

What can we say but it was too soon.
She has suffered enough, though. Tom and Dolores John and I can't put into
words the love that we have for the both of you and hope this helps in a
way to know that you are regarded as
such special friends. You feel like
our family. God bless the both of you.
