Monty & family,
We are so sorry for your loss. I remember when Colleen cut my hair when I was very young. Several years ago when Mom was working at Elder Beerman in Mattoon I helped with their yearly inventory, Mom and I were so happy when we discovered that Colleen was helping with the inventory also that night. We took our breaks together! She was such a very sweet lady!
