I worked for years with Colleen on the floor at St. Mary's Hospital. She was the kindest, funniest, most efficient person to work with and I always was so happy when I saw her on the schedule. Our days were always filled with laughter and good comradeship when she was with us. I think of her when I think of our "good ol' days" up there on the Medical Floor. She was a wonderful lady and I am sorry for the family's loss.
