I am deeply saddened to hear of Colleen's passing. I attended Villanova with her and we were sorority sisters. I had lost touch with her over the years, but remember Colleen as a lovely, bright, very fun person. My condolences to her family and may God guide the lives of her 3 children. My prayers are with you all.

Dear family of Colleen,
I am so sorry to hear about her long battle with cancer. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. I didn't know what happened to her until I saw her photo in today's courier post, memorial section. I was a friend of hers in OLG. I so wish we kept in touch. She was a great friend and a wonderful person to be around. I miss her. She wrote in my yearbook at eigth grade graduation: "I hope you will never forget me." Colleen I never did.I have fond memories of you riding our horses together and many laughs at school.

Dear family of Colleen, We are so very sorry to hear about Colleen. Even though we knew her a little while during the time she was my mom' s roommate we knew how special, loving and brave she was. My mother felt very lucky to have her as her roommate and really felt very close to her and felt the love and specialness of Colleen.
We pray for her and your family with prayers of healing, strength and peace.
Our thoughts and love are with her and all of you, Myril Sady and Michele Golembeski

We will miss Colleen dearly. She has been our neighbor for a long time. She has been such a strong woman through her long battle with cancer. Even through her illness she always stayed postive. She loved and enjoyed to plant in her gardens. They were as beautiful as she was. She was a wonderful mother and wife. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Greg, my heart and prayers are with you and the kids at this very difficult time. Colleen was such a wonderful mother...always the first to volunteer for any need we had at the preschool. We've enjoyed your children over the years, for sure. While I had to leave KCP for health reasons several years ago, your family is one of those who will forever be in my heart. You and Colleen did a terrific job as parents laying the foundations for your kids, and while it's heartbreaking that we lost her, the seeds you planted together will continue to strengthen your children in the years to come. Please don't hesitate to call me if there is anything I can do in addition to adding my prayers to yours. Take care.
