I met Kolleen in 2020 when we were going though the rough of the pandemic. We became friends and worked well together. She loved taking care of her residents and she was there to help anyone who needed. She was a great friend also. When I came down with Covid at the end of that year we messaged on fb messenger and kept in touch. I came back to work there through agency mainly weekends and we picked right up where we left off. The residents loved her and she was a kind soul and a great friend. We kept in touch often when we weren´t both at work. It saddened me greatly to hear of her passing. Rest in heaven my dear friend. Keep watch on us.

My deepest sympathy to the family and close friends.

We graduated high school together. She was the most kind person I met. She never spoke bad about anyone. I wish we would of stayed connected more after high school. RIP

One night she randomly called me to see if I had been ok, when I replied with no she was at my door no later than 15 minutes after. She spoke highly of her mother and wanted so badly to make her proud...she was an amazing human, I´m grateful to have known her and wish I could have been there for her more so recently. Rest in heaven my dear.
