1 month ago today it was. She will forever in my mind "be right back" as the last words I heard from her. You were a wonderful person who did not desrive this. You took pride in bringing joy to others. You found joy in the happniess of children. I pray for your children Colleen. I think of them and you daily. My life for ever change by knowing you. My heart forever an empty spot that you once filled. To few happy memories. Till I see you once again in heaven. May God have his eyes and hands on the hearts and lives of your childen. I weep for them and for you. R.I.P

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...

but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.

Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.



Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.

Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."



It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.

As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.

I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."



God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.

And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.

God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.



When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years

because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.

Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.



I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.

But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.

I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.



There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;

but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...

that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.



If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,

then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."

And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,

knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.



So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,

just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;

I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.



And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,

remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

COLLEEN A. DWYER
March 19, 1974 to March 19, 2008


always in our thoughts, forever in our hearts



No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say goodbye,
you were gone before we knew it,
and only God knows why...

I mourn for you in silence,
no eyes can see me weep,
but many a silent tear is shed
while others are asleep.

It only took a little space
to write how much we miss you,
but it will take the rest of my life
to forget the day we lost you

So for the rest of us, Light a candle, it will help to remind you
Of your time together on earth,
and as the flame flickers, remember
Her kindness, her goodness, her worth.

So, glow little candle, that briefly,
You’ll know that her memory can’t die,
As you see her sweet face in the glowing,
Shed a tear, say a prayer, then goodbye

Mandy Olson-written March 20, 2008

In loving memory of Colleen Dwyer (Price)

God looked around his garden,
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this Earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you,
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.

He knew you were suffering.
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never,
Get well on Earth again.

He saw that the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, "Peace by Thine."

It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

Colleen, we will miss you. You were an angel from above. The love you had for your children and others Truly shown when you smiled. I love you girl and I know that you are sitting with your heaven father looking down on your children. God Bless The Price Family.
