We lost another one of the great ones. Noone nicer or lit up a room more than Colleen. She had a nice thing to say to everybody, always made you feel welcome and like she just saw you yesterday. Made you feel like you were the most important person she had ever talked to. Can't think of a kinder soul. It was a privledge to know her and she is in the best of company in heaven.
