Hamilton family-
Wanted to take a minute and express to you what a kind, fun, generous person your Mother was. Colleen and I would hang out for hours on her front porch in the summer, often well in to the night. She always had a ear to listen, a voice for advise and a heart that never questioned. She and I where great friends; albeit I had not seen her in many years, I thought of her often. When I speak of her, it is only with fondness. She is a great friend, a fun friend and a loyal friend.

Dear Jack and daughters,
We were so sad to read of your mother and sweetheart's passing. We only knew some of you for a short time while we were missionaries in the Jordan View Ward. We enjoyed the few times that we got to visit with you.
Colleen (and mom) loved each of you so much. She has such hopes and dreams for each of you to succeed in this life. We loved sharing in her sense of humor and had many good laughs with her.
Our love and thoughts are with you at this time.
Love,
Tom and Kathy Capece

Hamilton Family;
We are from the same neighborhood as Colleen. We spent our High school years with her and Had very Happy Momeries of her. She was a big part of our lives. The Stories that we could tell you about your Mother, they were very happy times.
She was a great Friend and It was very sad to see that she had passed away. I know that Heavenly Father will watch over your Family in this time of need. She is up there smiling down on all that she knew and touched in her life time. Sharon (Craft)Viall and Carol (Craft) Williams
