Colleen was one of my very best friends ever! She loved to come to the house when my kids were little and keep them entertained(I called her "Mommy #2")She could light up a room just by being there! My memories are many some happy some sad and many just down right silly! You will always be in my heart! Until we meet again my friend, Love you! Rest in Peace!
To the Doyle Family: May you all find peace! XOXO

To Grody, Kathy, JP, Tom, Matt, Christine and families. I am so sorry to hear about Colleen. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know there are great memories to keep you all handling this grief. Colleen was a feisty, happy, said what was on her mind, kind of person. We hadn't seen or talked in quite a few years until just two years ago. And the conversations we had the last two years were just like the ones 20 years ago. She made me smile, she made me laugh. I will never, ever forget her. Love to you all.

My dear classmate and fellow friend. As I was looking through old pictures the other day, I came across a picture of you in front of the Tappan-Spaulding Library that I had taken. I smile came across my face as I remember that day: laughing, joking and just being goofy. (Aren't all fifth graders?)
Through the years we shared many classes together and graduated, lost touch, then recently reconnected on Facebook. I will never forget you, Colleen. HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN.
SENDING PRAYERS AND CONDOLENCES TO YOUR FAMILY.
