    I worked with Coleen for many years and always appreciated her upbeat personality. I can still hear her distinctive laughter. I love that photo of her, by the way. My condolences.

    Jamie, Tammy, and Shannon:
    Your Mom loved being your mother. You girls were her world! She had a gentle style that I always admired when I had the pleasure of babysitting you girls in your early years. She was a great role model and I learned so much from her. We should all strive to follow her example of how the good Lord wants us to lead our lives.

    I’m so very sorry for your loss! Your Mom was a wonderful and caring woman to so many! We were neighbors with your Mom, Uncles and Grandma and Grandpa when they lived in Omaha. My brother John and your Uncle John used to pal around together as kids. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. God’s peace to you…
