Hi Colleen,
I am sad to hear that you have passed, but happy in the comfort that you are back in the arms of John again.
Hi Family,
It is hard to believe that the ageless Colleen, has passed. I will miss her quick wit and incredible memory whenever I was blessed to be in her/your company.
Much love to you all. xo
