A bright ray of sunshine has left us only to be shining brightly with our Lord. Bless you, Colleeen and the joy you brought to our lives. We know that you are watching over your family who need your beautiful spirit more than ever to carry them through this trying time. We loved your laughter and you joy of living.

Dear Dick, Alyssa and Joey,

We were so sorry to hear about Colleen. Please accept our sincere condolences and our thoughts are with all of you. It was a pleasure to know and laugh with Colleen at the Incarnation games. We will keep Colleen and all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Hi Colleen,

I stopped by to visit you yesterday. I will always remember your great smile and cheefullness (and, of course, that laugh, not another one like it) and your love for the sun. I am sure you have found that perfect place in the sun in heaven. Save a place for me. I'll be there with you someday.

Going to miss you more than I can say.

Love, Reggie Moore (long time customer)

We remember and love Colleen dearly,

Love, Kathy and Bunny Darcy

Dick and family

Such a great loss for you all. Will miss Colleen terribly. Her humor and goodness will live on in all of us.
Wish I could be there for you all. Know that I am thinking of you all. Nothing anyone can say removes the sorrow just helps to know how many loved her.

Dear Dick and Family,
Please accept my condolences on your loss of Colleen. Her time her was too short, however, she lives forever with our Lord. And that is beautiful thing. May God bless all of you.
Sincerely,
Kathy Lahola

Dear Dick, Alyssa and Joey,

Unfortunately I have never had the pleasure of meeting any of you. I went to high school w/Colleen and have not seen her in 20+ years. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 6-1/2 years ago. A mutual friend of ours told me about Colleen when she received the bad news. I called her and talked w/her. It was great to speak w/her. Since that time I've been getting updates on her health. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Colleen was a wonderful woman! Whenever I think of her, I think of her laughter.

I think our only comfort in losing Colleen is knowing that she is in a much better place right now. God bless each of you.

I will keep you and your family in my prayers..

Dick and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories of Colleen bring you comfort.

Dick, Alyssa, Joey, Terry, Susie, Diane.
There are really no words to express our sympathies. There is NO ONE on this planet that can hold a candle to Colleen and her love and zest for life and living every day to its max.
WRC will not be the same without her. Our time on the water, her gardening, hair cuts IN the water will live on in our hearts forever.
Altho her pain is over yours(and ours) is just beginning. She will be watching and guiding us all, if we can listen I'm sure we'll hear her laughter when we mess up! I'm sure!

Our Prayers are with you all.
Anne, Teri, Sarah & Emily

Dear Dick,I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sorry for Colleen's suffering. This world is a little less bright without her warm smile. Fortunately you still have 2 beautiful pieces of Colleen to help you carry on. Be at peace everytime you look at Joey & Alyssa. Realize life is still beautiful!! Stu Abbott

Dear family,
I did not know Colleen long but I know she brought new joy to the Providence home. Colleen always had a smile and a joke. She brightened up our residents and gave them something new to look forward to. I am quite sure that world is a little emptier without her. Prayers to those she left behind.

To the Ahern and Quillin Families. I knew Colleen since she was a little girl. I babysat for her and her sisters when they were very little. Terry and Joe took me with them boating so that I could watch the kids. Later in life, Colleen married my friend Don Ahern's brother and I was able to catch up with her.

She was a beautiful woman and fun to be around. My heart goes out to the survivors. It is a very tough journey.

Dick,
I was sorry to hear about your wife. I wish there were words to help you through this tough time but I don't think those words were ever invented. I will say a pray for you and your family.

Aunt Colleen,
We are sorry to see you leave us all so soon. You had so much life left in you, so it doesn’t seem right. Your humor and thoughtfulness have left an imprint on us all.

Don’t worry about Uncle Dick, Alyssa and Joey. Although they were not ready to move on without you, they will find a way. You have done your part to leave them a good path to follow, and you have left plenty of friends behind to watch out for them.

Thank you for letting us share in your life!

We all know how much you loved the weekends at the campground, so we know you will find a good campground up there for us all. Please keep the campfire going and the marshmallows handy. Until then, we will miss you dearly.

Loving you always,
Kelli, Dan, Nathan and Troy

Dear Richard, Alyssa and Joe,

We are very sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved Colleen. Even though we haven't been with her in a number of years, we still remember the fun we had when we were all together. Our prays are with all of you at this time.
Debbie & Jack Griffin

Diane,
I am so sorry that you are feeling this pain. I know how much Colleen and her family meant to you. She was such a fun and loving person. Her memories will go on through you and Alyssa and Joey and your whole family. Her time was too short but it was full of family friends and love! You and your family are in my prayers.

Dear Dick, Alyssa & Joey,
Clyde & I are so sorry to hear about your loss. We enjoyed Colleen's humor, her great haircuts & our visits with you while waiting for Colleen to come home from shopping!
You are in our thoughts & prayers.

The family that Colleen's life touched may be wider than many realize. Our family is large and widespread but we have a connectedness that is not easily broken. We all loved her and we will miss her. Wayne.

Dear Dick, Alyssa and Joey: I cannot really put into words how empty I feel. Colleen will truly be missed - her smile, laugh and generosity is something that will forever be remembered. Please accept my sincere condolences, and know that Colleen will always be in our hearts. Peace, Debbie and Steve
