My dearest colette.
To know you was to love you. To have lost you only but shattered a heart. Unfortunately I only found out about your loss on July 26th. I missed your service and didn't get to say goodbye. So I'm saying my goodbyes here. I taught you how to write in school. Especially really small because you know... when you wrote small it was sooooo good.
I love you always sweet colette. Watch over your sister and your parents. Xoxox

I only knew Collette through her mothers loving information she gave at lunch time at Saucedo. He was very loved by her mother . Sorry to hear this sad news. My thoughts and prayers are with Lois and her family as they go through this difficult time.

Uncle Chuck, aunt Lois and Amelia, I am so very sorry for your loss. I am at a loss as to what to say. Just following Colette on Facebook made me smile. She had a beautiful spirit and you now have a beautiful angel looking down on you. I keep remembering how happy we all were the day she was born and how much fun I would have babysitting for her and Amelia. All my love to all of you.
