Just went to write her on Facebook , I was worried because I had not heard from her in a few Days. Then I saw she had passed it broke my Heart . God needed this wonderful Lady she had a Heart of Gold and was loved by anyone that met her. I met Coleen a few years ago when she came to Greenville South Carolina to see her Sister Andrea who was married to my Brother Robert (Buddy) McCoy was in the Hospital. I only spent 1 Day with her at the Hospital but became lifetime Friends. We talked on Facebook almost every day. I will never forget her . My Prayers go out to her Husband and Family and her precious Kitty's she loved so much. Fly High my Friend I will see you on the other side.

I just told someone today that I needed to go on Facebook and find out if Coleen was ok . I looked forward to her pictures everyday of her Beautiful yard , flowers and her Kitty's. And we had not seen any pictures in Days so I was worried . It broke my Heart to go to write her and find out she was gone. I met Coleen few years ago when her sister my Sister in law Andrea was in the Hospital in South Carolina. We became friends for life. I will miss my Friend . She was the sweetest and kindest lady. My Prayers are with her Husband , Children , Kitty's and Family. God Bless each of you and someday we will see her again because I know she is with her Heavenly Father in Heaven.

Her loss is a great one. I will miss so much about her. She could walk you down memory lane in a blink of an eye. It's hard to let her go. Her husband Emil made a warm and loving life for Colleen. A remarkable man. I share his loss. Rest in the arms of God sister.
