Too soon, Pudgi. Too soon.
I remember a LOT of fun times, my good friend.
Many laughs and concerts, nights at the Hullabaloo, foosball, railroad tracks and bonfires at VR. Listening to music and chatting with our group.
I'll take these wonderful memories with me, smiling, until we meet again. Wait for Mul and I.

Joe.

I feel such a sense of loss,
My world has tilted.
I knew a girl who was kind, generously, and so much fun.
I learned what a best friend was, hours of gossiping, miles and
And miles of walking to get nonowhere. Lots of fun and some sadness.
I can never say goodbye to someone I loved so much. I know. Ill
See you again, until then Ill cry for you my friend.

uch a terrible time in the life of the entire Butler/Weaver immediate and extended family. Pudg touched all of our lives in a very special and loving way. She almost always had a smile on her face and a kinds to say. She will be missed by all.
I love you Pudg, rest easy.

I worked with Colleen at AMC in the 80s and we shared the birth of her first child together as well as many laughs. She was a good friend and I am deeply saddened to hear of her sudden passing. Life separated us
but I will always have fond memories
of her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and with Colleen.
