Dear Lambert Family,

I just learned of your Mom's passing and am truly saddened by the news. Your Mom and I knew each other from the time we were about six years old (Yes, from St. Martin's on.) Everytime we saw each other it was like we were kids again except, as the years passed, we no longer had the speed of youth. I will miss your Mom.

My deepest condolences,

Kathy (Putich) Kraft

Dear Bill and Family,

I am very sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. Bill has shared with me her many recent struggles and utter determination to again be well. Our prayers are with you and I know your family will get through this tough time guided by the good habits and strong faith she instilled in her children. Bill has always said what a great and gentle soul his Dad was may they be reunited and your hearts filled with warm memories.

My memories of Colleen go back over the past 60+ years. In the beginning...was it at #67 school or First Grade at St. Martin's?, I can see her as a curly-topped cherub with sparkling Irish eyes. I see her coming to play dolls, dress-up or roller skate on Hollywood or Ann Arbor Ave. with Ellen Sheehan, Julie Cheman, Mary Ann Carey

and others; riding our bikes; at Church and School at St. Martin's....not the new school and church but the old ones...the brown shingled box with the church next door and the Annex across the street; at birthday parties in S. Buffalo and at the lake; at MMA; on her days off from babysitting at the lake; at her old and new houses; starting college at Buffalo State in Home Ec. together; at dances and on dates. After I moved to MI. and we both married, our visits were few and far between but her beautiful Mercy handwriting would brighten my days as we compared our toddlers, then our teens. The past few years, we've shared e-mails and several reunion lunches with our old pals. Apparantly God felt she had already earned her Heavenly reward and has now brought her home with Him and her Bill. I will miss and cherish her in my heart always and pray for her loved ones who are still seeking goodness as I am. God be with you all and easy your sorrow with joyous memories.

Dear Lambert Family, I am so sorry at the loss of your Mom, Colleen. She was a kind and wonderful lady to know. My parents, Ron & Jean spent many 4 PM Masses together at St. Agatha's church with Colleen & Bill. When my Mom was ill your Mom would call her to chat and keep her spirits up.Now that my Dad passed this May, the four of them are together again in Heaven-happy and in peace. All of you are in my family's thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. May God Bless you with comfort and surround you with the wonderful memories of your beloved Mom.

My earliest memories of Colleen were when she was the babysitter for my brothers and me. Over the years we'd remind one another of how she'd threaten to take us to Father Baker's in Lackawanna if we didn't behave. (Of course, we were always good so we knew she would never follow through). We joked about it each year in our birthday cards to one another. And thanks for keeping me off the rollercoasters at Crystal Beach. You were much wiser than me in that regard. Colleen, you had a big heart, were a great friend,and I'll miss you very much.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a very special friend to me. I was able to tell her things I wouln't or couldn't tell anyone else and we spent a lot of time talking, laughing and sharing. Thank you for sharing her with me and my family. I (we) will miss her very much and know that she is with your Dad and healthy. God Bless all of you. The Snyder Family

My heart is saddened with the loss of my dearest friend Colleen. I have known you for about 45 years when we worked at the Gas Company together. My oldest son, and your dauther Elizabeth were born at the same time and we were in the hospital together. Our friendship has blossomed the last 10 years, sharing lunches with Mary Sands and keeping each other informed about what was going on in our lives. I will miss you more than you will ever know. I knew when I visited you at Mercy on the 7th that you were ready to go and be with Bill. We had a good talk and shared

some memories. I will never forget you. You are at rest and peace.

with all my love, Esther
