I loved Colleen. I named my first daughter after her. (Colleen - born in January 1970.) It has been over 60 years when we first connected, thanks to Mary De Lorme. We spent many wonderful times with Colleen. She shared her many talents with our daughters, Colleen and Georgia, who both have continued to expand in those fields. On a different note, Colleen saved our son when we were visiting and he was little and swimming in a tube at the Lake. In spite of that, all our times with Colleen were so relaxing. We even had written a will if anything happened to us we asked that Colleen and Jim take care of our children. Of course that was early in our relationship ( and theirs). However, we spent many more lovely times with Colleen over the years (good times and not so good times for her) and a final visit on a neighbor's porch several years ago alerted us to what she and her family were experiencing with her health. Our hearts were broken. However, I will never forget how she had made such a wonderful, loving impact on my life. Our visits on her porch or in the patio outside the porch were so special. She and I felt we had known each other centuries ago. My condolences to the family. I'm hoping to say one final good-bye on Tuesday, if possible. Diane
