My heart is with all of Colleen’s family as they release her to her next experience in eternal life. I pray affirming love, comfort, and that peace that surpasses human understanding for all of you.
I have been inspired by Colleen’s zest for life and her desire to continue to work even when she did not feel well. She was a special lady, one that will leave an imprint on my soul as will her daughter Victoria whom I also well respected. My deepest sympathy to your families at this time. May God give you peace during this difficult time. I am praying for you and thanking God for allowing Colleen to touch my life.
My thanks to everyone that was at today’s services. Mom was ,is loved by many people. My special appreciation to my little Sister Vickie who went above anyone’s expectations. My Mom raised five great daughters and myself. She was a human being flawed like the rest of us, but had a heart of gold that few could match. My Sister Vickie is the only person that I know that could match or surpass Mom. She is in Gods hands now, I promise any readers she is happy and walking with the Lord.
It is June 9th 2019 and every year I always say Happy Birthday Colleen It’s too bad we couldn’t have continued our friendship to old age like we had as children. You were my very best friend and I loved you and your family so very much
