Aunt Colleen was my Godmother! My memory of her will be forever and always, the smile on her face and her zest for life! She made me special crocheted items that I will treasure always! You will be missed by myself and many, Aunt Colleen! Note: Photo of an afghan Aunt Colleen crocheted for me. Love you, Allyson

Aunt Colleen never had any rest in her butt. She worked harder than anyone I know. Aunt Colleen and I were helping Grandma (her Mom) doing things in the yard. I laughed when Aunt Colleen said if we do things like this we can get this done. We did in record time. I will miss her energy, smile and kindness. I thank God she was my Aunt!!!!

To express how much Colleen will be missed is not possible. Her laugh, her smile, her love for family and zest for life. More than sister-in-law, she was my sister. We were greatly blessed to have her in our lives and will cherish every memory of her. Bobbie Hazard
