Dear Bob,Julie,Bob,& Dennis & family, Please know that Mike and I hold many fond and fun memories of Colleen and the Ens family. We always talk about those late night Sporlan parties with Colleen feeding us and making us feel at home. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We know that St. Patrick is a little happier today as he welcomes Colleen to heaven with Irish songs! So sorry we couldn't be at her memorial mass.
Mike and Re-Re Noelke

The world has lost a treasured soul. I did not spend a lot of time with Colleen but she left some fond memories.  She gave me my first cheese cake recipe and started my life long love of cooking. She was all about family, faith, fun and food. She made everyone want to be irish and part of her family.  The Family is in my prayers

I can only add to the many wonderful tributes that have been given to Colleen and say that she was a "classy Irish lady" and we shared many good times in high school and since.  Colleen's death helped me to focus on the important things in life; which are family, faith, and friends.

Dear Bob, Bobby, Dennis, Julie and families,
I met Colleen in high school - she has always been someone I could confide, rely upon and share many laughs with.  She helped me secure my first "real job" out of high school.  Friends and I visited the week preceding her death.  It was a great time with laughs and no tears - Colleen's rules.  She will continue to rule.  Love, Sandy

We will miss this great lady, strong woman, and gentle friend.  So many good and fun memories. Our deepest sympathy to Bob, Bobby, Julie and Dennis. We. Keep you in our prayers, heart, and thoughts.         Love, Jan and Bill

Bob and family, I didn't know Colleen very well but I'm truly sorry for your loss. I know the pain of losing your loved one and my heart and prayers are with you.  It's been a long time, Bob, since seeing you but hope to be at the Memorial Mass.  Love, your cousin, Doris (Krietlow) Burlason.

To my loving wife, mother, grandmother and just a special friend to many.  Rest in peace Colleen.

All my love, Bob

Dear Grandma,
I love you so much! I miss you but I'm glad you are in a better place. I will never forget all of the memories I have of you. We used to go to the tea place and you would tell me stories of your travels with grandpa. You played barbies with me and gave me my American girl dolls. We always had so much fun! These are memories I will cherish forever. I love you!

Mom, you gave me the gift of life and the honor of being there with you when god called you home.Your courage and love is in my heart always.  I feel blessed to have you as a mother and friend.  You are at peace now. You may not be with me on this earth, but I will cherish you in my heart forever!
