Colleen was our beloved nanny in Michigan, and I vividly remember how Nick immediately charmed us when we met him! The kids LOVED for us to go out of town, because they could sleep over with Colleen and Nick! Our family loves them both beyond words, and is heartbroken for Colleen and the children in this terrible loss.
