Dearest Kevin,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your sister Colleen, I met Colleen only once but truly she left a lasting impression on me that I would not forget. Her smile and her dedication to help others.
My very deepest condolences go out to you Kevin and your family. May peace be with you in this time of grief.
Take good care.

We are so sorry for your loss. Colleen was such a warm, kind and good-hearted person ~ she always had a beautiful smile on her face and was full of laughter and giggles. We have been friends for 18 years, and I am going to miss her terribly. I will cherish all of my wonderful memories of her always.
Please know that our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Colleen and I went to school together from grades 1-7 and then again in high school.
I was very sorry to receive the phone call tonight about her passing. She was too young. My prayers go out to her family and friends.

I am so very sorry to hear of Colleen's passing. I remember phoning her when I first learned of her breast cancer, as I could relate being a breast cancer survivor myself. I will always remember Colleen for our line dancing days at City Slickers, Smokin' Gunn & Straits and also watching her up clogging and having such a good time. She was truly a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

It's hard to know what to say at this sad time because Colleen will be missed in so many ways. But even though no words can truly comfort you perhaps they can express the depth of care and concern that is felt for you now.
I know that I am truly blessed to have had Colleen in my life and the happy memories of her brilliant personality have brought special meaning to the good times that we shared together. In remembering we keep what is best as a treasure forever.
Cammie, Leo & Kevin, I am sincerely sorry for your loss.

My best regards to the family.
I have known Coleen for about 15 years. She used to come out to see my band and she used to teach me some sign language. She always seemed to have a positive attitude and had a great spirit. She loved her job and we will all miss her dearly.

Dear Camie, Leo and Kevin.
I was so saddened to hear of Colleen's death. I recall, seeing her daily at school, watching her grow from a sweet little girl to an even sweeter young lady with the most wonderful smile. I am not surprised that she grew to become a loving, caring adult. Our prayers are with you all at this time.

To my beautiful friend and fellow literacy instructor! I miss you! I feel so fortunate to have worked with you over the last 10 years. Our visits at GOLD conferences were always so much fun and way too short. You always had a new piece of silver jewelry that you would purchase at the airport and you were always so excited to show me. Then our catch up time would begin. I know the clients admired you so much! Your attitude and respect for them did not go unnoticed. Every week I read this poem, and I know it will have a new meaning to me as I relate it to you and your courageous life. It begins....
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time. Enjoying one moment at a time. Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace. Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is not as I would have it, Trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will. So that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next." Amen
I am seeking that serenity and comfort right now. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to your family!
Love Janine

If I had to describe Colleen in one word it would be "lovely". Colleen was the type of person who you felt that you knew for a lifetime even though you may have just met. Colleen truly was a gift.

Kevin and Family,
Colleen was a beautiful person inside and outside. She was truly a caring person, a trait I truly admired. I will always have fond memories of going line dancing and hanging out together at Country Time Donuts. I've always appreciated her making that long journey for my wedding, not very many people would do that, but that was Colleen. She will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Christine

Dear Kevin and Mr. and Mrs. Cooney,
As a member of the McGuire family, I have had the pleasure of meeting Colleen several times so I was not surprized to read that so many friends came to her side. I know she will be sorely missed and for that I offer you my condolences.
Mr. and Mrs. Cooney,
Kevin and Colleen have meant so much to Paul. It would be difficult for him to find two more thoughtful friends.
