I first met Colleen in late February of '06 and found her indeed to be creative and strong. She lived life to its fullest and in spite of her very serious medical problems, rarely complained. Those of my generation, as well younger generations, rarely have the same strength as Colleen had. I will miss Colleen, as well as all of her family I had the privilege to meet. I will keep fond memories of Colleen and her family in my heart.
