Not sure what to say?

I think about Colette often and her large loving family she has left behind. I am a nurse that had taken care of her and the short time that I got to spend with her I want her family to know she loved and talked about you. She would smile when she mentioned her children and her husband. I have twin sons and we exchanged stories of her sharing a friendship with her twin sister. I want you all to know that Colette's passing shocked the staff that had the privilege to meet her briefly and many...

What a great woman, I am sure she will be missed by many!

I just learned of Colette's passing and I am sorry for your devastating loss. I was a couple of years behind her at Penn--we were both in the Haitian Student Association that she founded--and I always looked up to her. I haven't seen Colette since those days but I remember her poise, her confidence, and her optimism as if I saw her just yesterday. She was the kind of person whose positive energy spread to all those around her. I send my deepest condolences to your entire family.

I am deeply sadden my dear childhood friend has passed. I will always remember your bright smile and laughter. You gave so much of your love to everyone. You will truly be missed. My deepest sympathy to your family in this time of grief. My tears are flowing for a friend and great girl. God rest her soul in peace.

So sorry for your loss.

I worked with Colette at NJDOH and am deeply saddened to learn of her passing. She had such positive energy and always took time to listen to and help others in need. Sending my condolences to her family and loved ones.

I am deeply saddened to know that dear Colette has passed. My sincere sympathies to her loving family, especially her siblings. I am lucky to have called her a friend during our time at Sacred Heart School. She was and is a ray of light always. My deepest sympathies & my prayers are with you all.

My sincere condolences to the Galette and Lamothe families. I worked closely with Colette from 2004 to 2019 on multiple projects and no matter how trying things sometimes became, we always laughed. Her spirit and attitude made her a joy to work with even in the most difficult times. I watched Val, Nico, and Jecca grow up through photos and I know how proud she was of them and how close the entire family is. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I will always remember Colette fondly and...
