Colleen McCarthy

My heart goes out to you at your very sad loss. Colleen was an amazing lady. I knew her from her time at the University of Rochester Government Affairs. She helped me with a problem that to some may have seemed trivial but she took care of it with humor, grace and always professionalism. She made me feel heard and cared about. Not always an easy task. Mary Stid

I first met her at a local Democratic Party Legislative District meeting for school board candidates, and recall that she was one of relatively few white folks there who at least had the decency to speak.
