Colleen Marie "Nana" Moran

Nana, There is so much I could say about the love you poured into us. Even when were going through chemotherapy, sick and in pain, you never stopped loving us, being there for us, and creating memories with us that I will cherish forever. I wish you were still here with us. Not a day goes by that I don´t think about you. I know your great granddaughters would of thought the world of you. I love you and miss you so much. When I get to heaven, you will be the first person I run to. Love you...

I HAD THE PRIVILEDGE OF WORKING WITH COLLEEN FOR 4 YEARS AT SPECIAL EFFECTS. SHE SMILED, NEVER SHOWED THE PAIN SHE WAS IN, {WHICH IN ITSELF WAS MIRACULOUS, BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT WAS TREMENDOUS} I HAVE RARELY ENCOUNTERED SUCH A PROFESSIONAL. SHE TOOK ALL THE FROWNS AND TURNED THEM UPSIDE DOWN!
IT WAS A TRUE JOY TO WATCH HER TURN OUT THOSE AMAZING STYLES!
AND HER PARTIES!!!! THEY WERE AWESOME! ESPECIALLY AT CHRISTMAS TIME. I WILL NEVER FORGET HER VILLAGE COMPLETE WITH FLYING SANTA,...

Dear Colleen and Family, I was so sad when I heard of your passing but now you are with your loved ones and no more suffering. You were a great lady and I will miss you.

I have been a friend of Steve Mehay’s for some thirty years. I didn’t know Colleen all that well other than meeting her once and a few short conversations on the phone. I do know that she is Steve’s LOVE and that’s all I needed to know. I remember the e-mail he sent out the day they found out it was cancer. Steve wished he could change places with her. Colleen was a wonderful person and I know she is missed on this earth.

I first Colleen in Alaska in 1976. Our friendship developed there and continued until 1980, when Colleen and her family moved to Georgia. The departure was devastating to the both of us. By the grace of God our paths crossed again in 1989. I was living in California and Colleen in Phoenix. We planned a reunion just for old times sake. To make a long story short we have been together since. I was with her that day in 1992 when the doctor told us that she had breast cancer. That day forever...

Colleen was a wonderful person. I was her client for 15 years and I just found out that she passed. She fought her cancer every day. Sometimes she talked about giving up, and then the next time I talked to her she was raring for a fight again. She loved her family, her grandchildren, and talked about them constantly. God bless and keep her. She will be greatly missed.

I met Colleen when we were sophmores in high school. Her zany, outgoing, friendly, and fun personality were magnetic. There was never a dull moment when I was with Colleen. Her openness and honesty were qualities that deepend our friendship.

Although our lives took us on different journeys after graduation, Colleen and I managed through the years to keep in touch and get together whenever we could. Colleen didn't let fear get in the way of living life to the fullest. She...

I was honored to meet Colleen and Steve several years ago when I was visiting my sister and brother-in-law in Sierra Vista, Az. The tremendous love they had for one another was very obvious. We all spent a wonderful weekend together that had an incredible effect on me. I felt I had known them for years. I don't remember when I laughed so hard. Colleen not only told some great stories, but acted them out. I told her she had changed my life forever...and she did. I'll never forget that...
