Colleen S Otteson

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Gunderson Funeral Home - Madison

My dear friend Colleen truly enriched my life. Through all the years, tears, and so much laughter, I do miss my friend. Colleen was an inspiration to so many. She was so kind and open to all people. I don't think I know anyone with more friends than Colleen. I'm sorry for your loss Dirk. I know she will remain in many hearts. Colleen was just special.

Thinking of you all. With Love, J & J Fireball Lanes <3

Colleen never met a stranger. Every person in the world, to her, was just a friend she hadn’t met yet. She always saw the good in people. Sometimes, that’s all she would see, even if no one else could see it. While in Arizona, we would be traveling and she would say, let’s stop in Wilcox so I can say hello to my aunt or other long lost relative of hers. I don’t know how many people we ran into that she knew, but there were several. She always kept me laughing. My thoughts are with you, Dirk and Colleen’s many other family members and friends. Colleen, you left this world but not my heart. Rest in paradise dear friend!
