Colleen was a special lady. She always had a smile and was always interested in you and yours. When I saw her last in the hospital she asked about our new grandchild and when I showed her pictures she was delighted. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family. Susan and Don

To Mary Katherine and family, Brian Culhane and family, all other family and friends: I wish to express my deepest sympathy in your loss of a truly great person. We were neighbors across the street on Baron Ave. and one of the special memories I have are the cookies and freshie Colleen would bring outside to us as we were welcomed and played on the trampoline with Jimmie and Mary. Eternal rest grant unto her Oh Lord and may Your Perpetual Light shine upon her. God bless.
