Not sure what to say?

Our Dear Coleen, We still miss you every day. It's been tough, but somehow we've made it through a whole year of missing you. All the "firsts" are behind us now: your birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas. Hard to believe that was last year, but still part of this first year of life without Coleen. Spring, Summer, vacations, Mom's 90th birthday, new babies. Life keeps happening and it somehow seems unfair that you are not here to share it with us. We hold you in our hearts on all these special...

Your Spirit, Coleen, is so full of Life and Love. You gave of yourself to All Our Relations - 2-legged, 4-legged, Winged, Water, Green, Earth. Thank you and Carry On your Journey with us in your Heart as you will remain in ours. Cindy and Mike Carroll (Salt Lake City, UT)

The perseverance and positive attitude during your battle against cancer has been inspirational. You make me proud to be a part of your family.

Thank you Coleen for coloring my life with your smiles, humor and breathless enthusiasm. You were a thoughtful and gifted ambassador for all of our animal
friends. It was always a pleasure to accompany you to a presentation. You will be greatly missed by all your friends at the zoo and I will always be grateful that I had the opportunity to know you, sweet friend.

I will always remember what a great help Coleen was to me as the Education Department Program Coordinator at Utah's Hogle Zoo. She was one of those volunteers that you could count on to do anything! ZooSnooz was great fun with Coleen. She was very self conscience of her snoring, but she hung in there and slept on the floor with us. She was the main reason we purchased a coffee maker for the EdZOOcation Station, she needed her coffee in the morning. Boy, did she ever come out of her shell...

Coie's light will forever shine in the special gifts she has made and shared with love to all who know her. She adorns our homes with reminders that have made our lives more joyful, creating memories of the good times her entire family have shared with Coie, Delbert and Family.
We are honored to have had the opportunity to share in Coie's laughter, her sincere love of life, and her tears at various times. Coie, you will be missed and never forgotten.
....With Lots of Love,

I had the great privilege to know Coleen for about 2 1/2 years and I am so sad to see that she has passed on. She had such a great energy about her and her laugh and kindness will be missed. She took me in as part of her family when I dated her son and it ment so much to me to be a part of such a great family. Even though I havent seen her in a few years I thought about her often. She will truly be missed! .....Love Brooke

Coleen loved her family and pets, and was blessed with a mother who is an inspiration to all of us. They shared Co with us for many years in the Treasurer's Office and we always knew she was the glue that held our office together and could figure out pretty much everything, and then get it done. She loved the snow, and would always make it into the office regardless of how deep it was. I will miss our breakfast of champions: diet coke, bacon, and on a really good day, cherry turnovers hot...
