I was Colleen´s mail carrier for the last 9 years. She was always the most sweetest, caring lady. I have always admired her love for animals, as I am an animal lover myself. I hope all of her outdoor/indoor kitties & her doggies are doing well because I know that´s what she wants. And most importantly I hope she is resting well at peace. You will be missed Colleen
Rest in peace beautiful.
