Colleen Phair Hagen

Our deepest sympathy goes out to you all! Though we did not know Colleen very well, over the years (as teenagers) hanging out with Phil we definitely knew how much she meant to him,and that they appeared very close. She sounded like such an amazing woman. We are so sorry for your loss. Words can not describe our empathy for you and our hope that you will all be alright. My mother passed away in 1989 (from multiple myeloma), and there is no greater loss than a mother (or spouse). You are all are in our thoughts and prayers. And Phil feel free to contact us if you need to talk. We will be coming up north 8-22-08. Take care. Sincerely, Teresa (nee-Atkinson) & Family, and Debbie (nee-Kurrle) & Family.

I will sadly miss our yearly get-
togethers and wonderful visits in
Brunswick. Colleen always held
a very special place in my heart.

Colleen was truly blessed with a loving and devoted family and friends, and she will be dearly missed. I have so many wonderful memories of her when we were young, telling each other marvelous stories in Grammie's featherbed at the "farm" and also roller-skating and bike-riding at camp, horseback riding and later double-dating. She was a very special cousin, and Dick joins me in sending our love and condolences to you all.

To the Family of Colleen Hagen,

As a Monday night volunteer at the Solvay Hospice House, I would like to express my sympathy to you for the loss of your beloved Colleen. While I had little opportunity to do much more than go in and offer assistance to you a few times (nothing memorable on your part), I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Colleen this morning and "getting to know her". I was amazed at how much we had in common and see what a legacy she leaves you. I was blessed to learn of her passion to communicate her love for the Lord through music as I have an active music ministry in the area due to the same love....and am often singing at Solvay. Colleen was able to know how God placed something so special in music that it opens up the heart and soul to His presence in a way that words alone don't seem to do. And now she is singing and praising the Lord, finally at peace with the Prince of Peace. She can now "see clearly, face to face" what we still only see dimly. How amazing! I grew up a few blocks from the Lincoln Park Community Church, then Temple Baptist, occasionally attending activities there, and have also done occasional singing for Williams Lobermeier - other connections I just learned of. May Colleen reside deep in your hearts through the memories she leaves with you, knowing her legacy has been fulfilled in her life on earth, but now carries on through each of you.

May God richly bless you,

We would like to extend our sincere sympathies for your loss. Colleen was a wonderful person who will be sadly missed by many. Love to you all. Wayne and Peggy Ham
