She was a wonderful person. I'm still in shock about this. I lived in Huntsville for about 15 years and frequented Ruggby's. When I learned of my relocation to Washington DC, I took Colleen and a friend of hers to the new hottest restaurant in town and bought them dinner. We had a wonderful time. I am so glad I did that. I got to know her a little better and she was just a fantastic person. I am so sorry. She will be missed.

Colleen was one of my closest friends in high school. She was one of the sweetest, most authentic and hilarious people I've ever known. That laugh...it became something of a sport to see who could get Colleen to reach her highest state of truly convulsive, uncontrollable laughter. I will always remember the many good times we had together, and the kindness and generosity of her mom, dad and brothers, who treated me and all of Colleen's friends like family. Pat, Fred, Matt and Jake, I offer my...
