Alicia & Christina,
In my mind your mother, Colleen, will remain forever...
the sweet youg girl who loved her mother and father so completely:
the devoted sister who looked-up to her brothers and sisters so openly;
but most importantly,
the lovely, young mother who adored her beautiful and talented daughters so supremely.
She will be carried in the hearts and minds of all who knew her.

Christina and Alicia, i love you both so much. Words cant express how sorry i am. She really did have a heart of gold. i keep remembering all the fun times we had together. She brought us shopping for coach bags, we went tanning all the time and talked about guys (lol), we would sing real loud in the Denali and just have so much fun. Best of all was when she helped with prom. We went crazy looking for the perfect dress. But we finally found it. Im always guna remember the good times we had with your mom. She was amazing. Stay Strong.<3

I knew Colleen from the Billerica Life Skills and she was an awesome lady that you all should be proud of. Many of the Kids in that class looked up to her especially my son. I thank God that there were people like her to be there for kids who needed them. I pray that you can keep her memory alive by remembering the happy times in your life with her. My deepest sympathy to you all.

I hold precious memories of Colleen from her childhood in Somerville. What bright eyes and sweet smile! She brought such joy to her parents, brothers and sisters.
I send my love to the Walsh family, whom I remember so fondly. My sincere condolences to her daughters and husband. Another light has been extinguished, only to live in our hearts as we journey on.

Alicia and Christina, I remember your mother as a young girl, always smiling and wanting to hang around with her older sisters and brothers, admiring and loving them,just wanting to be with them. She always had something nice to say, and my mother would always comment on her beautiful eyes and smile.-- How her smile lit up a room. As a young woman, her love for family could be felt whenever you were near her. There were so many gatherings at BettyJane and Eddie's where Colleen would bring her girls and her bright smile. How she loved showing off her girls at family gatherings. I hadn't seen her in quite some time, but I will hold dear her beautiful smile, warm hello, and the "hug" she would give me.
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. May you girls find strength in each other and those around you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Something Beautiful Remains
The tide recedes but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains…
For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains.

Hey Sunshine
How much you will be missed can not be explained. You were always full of smiles, hope and laughter. You brightened everyone's day and made it memorable. You always made work fun. Your girls were your sun, moon and stars and the pride you had for them could never be measured.
Why you were taken from this world so early in life is something I will never understand. I guess God just needed another angel.
You will be missed so much.
---RIP
