    I am so sorry for your loss. I am now looking at her grade one class photo from Aspen Grove and remembering her sweet nature.

    Ken and Val, I am so sorry for your loss. Holding on to the good memories that you have will help you heal from this horrible tragedy. One memory I will always have of Colleen was when she was a little girl, about 5 or 6 years old. Just had her hair cut short and wanted to be sure people knew she was a girl. She sat beside my son and said â??Iâ??m a girl, just in case you didnâ??t knowâ??. That always made me laugh every time I thought of her. The funniest pick up line ever. Lean on the people that love and care about you through this difficult time. Love Linda
