I had the pleasure of teaching third grade with Colleen for a year at Roberts. In that short time, Colleen & I bonded; sharing stories of our children and our husbands (both named Bruce). It was evident that she loved her family passionately. She was so easy to talk to, and always so positive, caring, and compassionate. She always asked about my boys. We stayed in touch through Facebook, and her journey inspired me. I often thought “When the going gets tough the tough get going.” Colleen was beyond tough; she was a warrior. She will forever remain in my heart. Her family remains in my thoughts and prayers. Rest easy, my friend. I promise to make those memories.
