Colleen Ryan

I met Colleen , Maureen and Bridget when I moved to New Orleans in 1976. They were my first friends in the city. I will never forget all of the fun moments that we had together on Dublin St.in their home.Colleen was always warm and welcoming to me and all of my friends. Their home was a safe haven for me. All my love goes out to her and her family. She will be remembered forever. Thank god she is at peace.

What a beautiful child of God Colleen is and a reminder to us of how to treat others. Colleen was such a kind and gentle soul and was forever giving of herself. For that gift she gave, we will be eternally grateful.

We love you Colleen.

I remember Colleen teaching (or trying) to teach me how to do a cartwheel. Still can't do it. I remember playing Miss America and forgetting I was Miss California and we woke up your Mom from a nap! Yikes! Colleen went to the beach with our family, we went to the pool with your's. Colleen was so much a part of my...
