Not sure what to say?

I have such fond memories of Colleen and the O'Shea family and time spent in Lansing with Gene & Joan. At a time when my role models for women that worked consisted of nuns and teachers I thought Colleen was just so cool. And I still do. So sorry for your loss Dan and family.

She was the proverbial "Women for all Seasons". A true gift for the Condon Family. When my sister Mary Beth was near her end she hosted a gathering of friends that gave Mary one last bright light of peace. My mother, Libby, lived another 20 some years with Colleen as her confidant and dear friend. A very special women with rare gifts who shared them without hesitation with all that she met.
To Dan and her children thanks for sharing!
Don't be confused by the way you will always be...

Matt,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

We are so Sorry to learn of Colleen's passing. Colleen helped us so much in planning our Honeymoon 25 years ago! Last time I saw her was at the Saint Patrick's Parade/2016 in Beverly. It was so good to be able to see her and Wish her good thoughts. Colleen is a Great Lady and she will be missed by so many of us.

Condolences to Dan and the Children.

There were times in my life when I was very sad... Mrs O'shea treated me like her very own son. She filled my belly with warm food. She placed a soft pillow underneath my head while gently wiping the tears away. I now smile knowing she has found solace in the arms of the Lord.

Mrs. O'Shea was always so sincere and kind. Our thoughts and prayers are with the O'Shea family.
Sincerely,
Bill, Kathleen, Liam, Matt & Claire.

Our prayers and sympathies to you and your family for your loss.may she rest in peace.

Thoughts and prayers to you and the rest of the family.
