My deepest sympathy to you all for your loss but she has gone home to be with our Lord and Savior. May knowing that she again is reunited with Martin ease some of the pain.

Hugs and prayers for healing to all of you! Aunt Colleen blessed this life for so many with her gentle nature and loving character. It's so painful to lose such special people, but Angels are only allowed on earth for a short time before they're called home to take a place with family and next to our Lord. Angel on earth, Angel in Heaven. She created a wealth of sweet and wonderful memories. Hold them close to your heart!
