So sorry to hear about Colleen she has been a dear friend for many years to my mom. She says she will miss her visits during the summer months. Many prayers and God Bless your entire family.
So sorry to hear of Colleen’s passing. I will always remember the great times the Scott and Vera Park family had at Aunt Lila’s and Uncle Walter’s farm, on Christmas and New Year’s Day. Colleen and Virg and family were always there. Great cousins. Thank you to their kids for the nice card. Love, Ritchie and Shelley Park
