Dear Gerald and Sean,
We are so very sorry to hear of Colleen’s death. She certainly had a difficult time for so long. Whenever we visited on the porch she was always eager to join in the fun. I can see that smiling face coming through the door. We so miss your mom and dad and  Christine.  We will always say hi to them as we go by.

38 years ago on Dec 23, 1986 I met Colleen.  She had just moved into N. Prov & my friend and I were going sledding. Colleen was sitting outside so we stopped to ask if she'd like to join us. That is where our friendship began. She was here for all my kids, marriages, bday's, graduations, holidays, etc. We've been inseparable for many years. My kids loved her like an Aunt, I loved her like a sister & vice versa. Colleen you will be missed so much more than you know. You loved without judgement, cared without guilt, made friends so easily. You knew all our neighbors, we knew not even names. I admired your ability to always be so friendly to all.  May you rest in paradise. For you my love 'Take Me Home' Guns & Roses. Till we meet again.

I met Colleen threw colleens best friend Leeann, Colleen had a heart of gold, she was always their for everyone, she would even give you her last dollar with out complaining she would even give you the shirt off her back, she always has a smile on her face no matter what the situation was. We had a lot of good memories and we had a lot of fun together,  you was like another aunt to me,  you will be missed by all, R.I.P aunty Colleen until we meet again.

Collen lived a few houses from us on Andover street in North Providence.  She went to school with my kids, Andrew and Heather Liles.  I enjoyed when she came by and sat on the stairs with my kids and they were laughing and enjoying each other. The last time I saw Colleen was In February at my niece Erica Noonans funeral. Colleen gave a beautiful memory of her relationship with Erica to everyone.  She was close friends with my niece LeeAnn Noonan Watts.  They were like sisters and she did live with LeeAnn many times over the years. Collenn was like an aune to LeeAnns children and the loved her dearly as she did them. Coleen was a kind, gentle ,loving  person and will be missed by eneryone she touched . rest in peace little Angel. Andy and Erica will join hands with you

Colleen lived a few houses down from us on Andover street.   She went to school with my children, Andrew and Heather Liles.  She was a sweet, happy person and I enjoyed when she came by and sat on our front stairs with my children.   I recently saw her at My nieces wake, Eric Noonan, and she gave a beautiful commentary about her relationship with Erica. Colleen was a very  close friend to my Niece LeeAnn Noonan Watts  ,they were like sisters. She was considered an aunt to all of Lee Anns children . They loved  her very much as she did them.  She will be missed and remembered by everyone she touched. Rest in peace my sweetie!!!!
