When my first child started Kinder, Colleen was there to get me involved in PTA and car-pooling. She was a dear friend from long ago who added to my knowledge of kids and schools. Some of her girls baby-sat my girls. Precious family, may joyful memories bring smiles to your faces and may your faith help you deal with your loss. Your mom believed in living a life of loving and giving. Rest in Peace dear Lady.

I remember how supportive Colleen was of our Camp Fire Girls group and TROTH. She is with her Lord and is smiling down on those she left behind. One day we will all be united.
May her family find peace in the knowledge that she is in a much better place.
