Yesterday
It was a privilege to be able to care for Colleen at Smilow. I was so inspired by her spirit and perseverance, her infinite love for her family, especially Blake and her precious Audrey, and the absolutely selfless will she had as a mother to give everything and do anything she could to seize each precious day and moment. She will be missed but never forgotten, at peace in a better world.

I only knew Colleen for a brief time, but during that time her incredible strength and bravery were readily apparent, as was her love for her daughter and family. I hope she has found some peace after a valiant battle.

Dear Colleen,
Seems like it was just yesterday we were all so excited because you were going to be born. Suddenly I was Aunt Penny for the very first time. You were so tiny and cute. Wayne and I are so proud of the beautiful young lady you grew up to be. Until we meet again, may you rest in peace, free from pain, in the arms of the Lord.

My husband and I did not have the privilege of knowing Colleen. She sounds like she was a lovely lady, wife, and mother. We hope you will be surrounded by many family members and friends as you mourn her loss and continue your live's journeys without her. Look to heaven and you will see her smiling down on you.
