Co, it doesn't seem like three years have passed since you left us. As you know, I have Gabe and am raising him. He's a good kid, much like you were in your youth. You are missed! Love you always,
Sis

I was a friend of Colette when we were about 10 years old friends from school.
we used to hang out some for a while. One time I was at her house in Whitehall close to the post office, my parents had divorced and I came down with the flu out of no where. My Mom was at work and Colette's dad and Colette were so kind to me and took such good care of me until my Mom could get there. I thought she was so lucky to have two parents in the house that seemed so nice. We We moved away not long after and lost touch. I always remembered Colette and her Mom and Dad. I can't believe she was so close to where I live all this time. God bless all her family May God help you all in this time, I am so sorry for your loss. Kind Regards, Juliet

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom, sister and aunt. She was a vibrant, bright woman who lived her life on her terms. Her positive energy made the world better. Sending you peace and serenity during this difficult time.

Jeannie, I am heart-broken for you at the loss of your sister. I know how much you loved her. I loved her too. Gabe, I am your mother's cousin and have many fond childhood memories of her. One of my earliest memories of her is from when, as a young child (3?), she and her cousin of the same age were dressed up as Pebbles and Bam Bam from the Flintstones. They were adorable together. I am so sorry for your loss.

I have such happy memories of summer visits to Michigan. Collette was such a sweet little girl and always so happy and carefree. She was a free spirit! I know that she will forever be watching over her sweet son, Gabriel. Safe journey, my cousin. ❤

We have been friends since we were 4 years old. As teenagers we drove around in that yellow cutlass and had lots of fun memories. Then you got a Blue Dodge Omni and we could not fit as many people in it but we sure had a blast. My fond memories of you will always stay with me. You were someone who marched to the beat of your own drum. That is what made you special. Till we meet again my friend. May you rest in peace and soar like and Eagle with a wide wing span up above. Peace and Love

We spent many visiting hours both when you were in H.S. Collette! And as an adult. I am sitting here looking at the red glass angel you gifted me with so many years ago. You had a special place in my heart and I pray that your Gabe will grow stronger thru this time in his life. I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom Gabe and for the loss of your sister Jeannie!! Peace to both of you now and always in all ways.
Love, from Rosanne Taylor

I've known Colette since meeting her sister Jeanne walking her in a baby stroller across the street from my house. Our new neighbors! So, I guess I've know that cute little girl most all of her life. Collette was cute vivacious and a free spirited child and adult. Thru her sister, I was able to keep track of her and her free spirit and love of Indian lore. I wish the best for you Gabe, I know you were your moms world. She loved you very much.

Gabe, I did not know your mother but am friends with her sister. This journey will make you stronger. Stay on the right track and accomplish all the things your mother wished for you. So sorry for your loss. Stand tall and move forward.

I graduated from Whitehall in 1978 and knew your Mom. She definitely was a free spirit. She had a beautiful smile and a kind heart. She always told me I had a wolf that walked beside me. She will be missed . Barb Clauss Brinkman
