I remember Colette as a bright and enthusiastic student in her occupational therapy class at UB. She continued to make contributions to other students' learning by supervising them in their clinical training with children. Colette was a very competent and giving occupational therapy practitioner.
It is with much sadness that I add my expression of condolence to this list of heart broken people who were touched by Colette in life.

Colette's family can be very proud of her many accomplishments and bravery.

I am truly sorry for your loss.
