Though we haven't met...I feel inspired to offer my sincere condolences..I swim and converse regularly with Mary Jane Fitzpatrick and she shared so beautifully her thoughts on the passing of her beloved sister-in-law Colleen. Memories will always remain and time does heal everything!! God bless your family. Gerry Szymski
