I knew Colleen thru the crdit union. My father worked for Hamilton Casters and he done his banking there. My dad passed away and for some time I didn't go in there. Some years later I met my husband and he too had an account with the credit union. After 6 years Colleen still remember me. She would always greet with a smile and give my kids a sucker. She will be missed. Ours prayers and thoughts are with you all in such a sad time. My God bless you.

In a world of mistrusting, hard hearted people, Colleen would always renew my faith that there are still wonderful people out there. She touched so many lives with her kindness and warm heartness. The credit union will never be the warming welcoming place as it was with her. She is so very much missed!

My deepest and most sincere condolences to you and your family during this time of loss. Words cannot take away your pain but it does get better with time. Coleen was a terrific person and was always willing to help others. I had the priviledge to serve with her on the board of HICU for a couple of years. It was always pleasure to work with her. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.



Sincerely,

Darrell and Michelle (and my Maddy) I remember so many Wednesday evenings with Colleen. I would always ask if Maddy was coming in tonight and just the mention of her name would brighten Colleen's face. I always envied Colleen and her ability to keep a long friendship. Jane L. and Colleen were so close and they really enjoyed sharing past memories and present experiences. It will be very hard to work on Wednesday evening because we would have the same customers and if Colleen wasn't there many would ask if she was working tonight. I will always keep Colleen in my heart and you in my prayers.
