I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Colleen. Although it has been a while since we have last seen each other, Colleen will be missed. SMS cheerleading was not just for the girls. It was a great way to meet couples and other incredible moms. Anyone who came in contact with Colleen was met with kindness. I always remember her looking impeccably dressed, having a quiet strength and being a nurturing mother. Ray, Meaghan, and the Ryan Family, we wish you peace and our heartfelt condolences.
