My deepest sympathies on the loss of Colleen. I had the good fortune to work with her at Buffalo Wild Wings and found her to be a wonderful, energetic, and dynamic person. My heart goes out to you at this time of grief.
I'm so sorry to hear of Colleen's passing. I taught Austin in 4th grade at Conley and he was a shinning star just like his mom. She was an awesome parent and such a supportive person. The world lost a beautiful star and I hope God guides your family thru this hard time. May God Bless you all.
My condolences and prayers go to the family & friends. I know Colleen will be missed and from the beautiful memories written about her, I know she was loved. May the Father of tender mercies and God of all comfort be near to you as you call on him in prayer. 2 Corinthians 1 verse 3, 4 and Psalm 83 verse 18
