Dear Doug and family, It is so sad and painful to lose the ones we love. I hope each beautiful memory you have of her gives you strength and comfort. Although I had only seen her on a few occasions, I remember her smile and think of her as charming. - Posted by: Carol Danson (Cousin) on: Mar 15, 2024

Colleen was such a beautiful person and a bright light in the world. I am so sad to read of her passing. It is such a gift to have met Colleen, and her light will continue to shine in my memories of her. It was always a highlight to see Colleen and Doug when they came in to the store. I loved talking about the latest movies they had seen and their thoughts about each movie. I will be thinking of Colleen when I watch this year's Academy Awards. Condolences and the biggest hug and love to Doug and to all of Colleen's loved ones. Brenda. - Posted by: Brenda (fellow book lover thankful to have known Colleen) on: Mar 09, 2024
