Mom, Another year has gone by (it's been 11 years) without you here, and it isn't the same without you! You are so missed and I just wish I could see you again, to ease my broken heart. The boys still talk about you often and there are so many things they want to share with you. We will keep you in our hearts and look to the day we will see you again! Love you with all our hearts!!

Mom, it's hard to believe it has been 10 years since you left us. There is not a day that goes by that you are not missed! You would be so very proud of the young men Alex and Nico have become. They talk about you often and all the memories they have of the time they spent with you. We love and miss you beyond words!
Love,
Gina, Paul, Alex, Nico and Carrie

I can't believe it has been 8 years since you left us! Sometimes it feels like an eternity and other days it feels like you just left us. There is so much I wish you could have been here for and wanted to tell you over the years. I think that is the hardest part, you not being able to share our experiences (especially with the boys). I do just miss hearing you voice on the many phone calls a day we would have. :o) You are in my heart forever, and I love you so much!

Love, Gina, Paul, Alex and Nico

I was so sorry to hear of your Mother's death. Colleen was such a dear and gentle lady. I always admired your Mom and Dad's relationship. They seemed so happy and were always together. If you can take any comfort at all, know that they are together once more and that would make them very happy. I was your Dad's good friend in High School and met your Mom through him. I know they were both very proud of you girls. I have been including your Dad in my daily prayers since he died last year. I will now remember Colleen.

I send my heartfelt sympathy to Colleen's family. I lived across the street from the Vignalos on Saratoga Street. Colleen was just a few years older than I was but I recall her babysitting for me a few times. I liked her so much and looked up to her. I remember her being kind and gentle… and she was always so nice to the younger kids on the block.

I was shocked and saddened when I learned just last night that Colleen had passed away. I know she has been through so many health challenges and believe that she is now at peace with Larry. My heart aches for Carrie and Gina and I hope all of the wonderful memories of Colleen will keep her alive in your hearts forever. She was a wonderful lady and I will miss her at the 5:00 p.m. mass Saturday evenings at Nativity.

Dear Gina and Carrie and Family, I am so truly sorry on the loss of your mother, Colleen. I spent a great deal of my life with her on So. Saratoga St. as part of the saratoga gang. She was a great friend and was so happy when she married and was a mother. I have countless memories of the Vignalo family and they are very precious today. She was loved by the whole Kenney family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I am so sorry for your loss.

I grew up with Colleen on South Saratoga street. I am so sorry to hear of Colleen's passing. It's been many years since I played with Colleen in the old neighborhood. I lived at 595 and Colleen's home was 2 houses down. It's bringing a flood of memories of Colleen's family and the old gang. Regards, Sandy
