We at Forcepoint extend our condolences to Colleen's family. She was a team player, took on projects no one else wanted with a cheerful attitude. She was our cheerleader when things weren't going so well. We are saddened at her sudden departure from this earth God bless.

Oh Colleen. I am so sad. You were too young to go. We had so much fun at the fashion show! You lit up the stage. Blue is your color. You had no idea how beautiful you were inside and out. I bet you are making a gorgeous angel! My heartfelt sympathy to your family and fiance.

Sister, my sister. The rooms are empty of your laughter, of you playing your music too loud, of you dancing around that made these woody floorboards creak! We had so many plans! I guess God did too. Give Mum and Pops and Auntie and everyone else hugs from me. I have no idea what I am suppose to do now. Show me, okay?

You were cracking all kinds of jokes. You were laughing your contagious laugh. You told me that you felt better. We stayed up extra late that night talking all about our future together. We said our usual ‘I love yous’, and I had no idea that it would be the last time.The day you left, the world seemed a little darker. I did not just lose my future wife, but everything. As I have had my journey though the grieving process, my thoughts on the whole situation have changed. I used to be devastated that you left. Now, I can only think about that glorious moment and the huge grin on your face as you walked up to the pearly gates and you were greeted by Jesus. I love you so much Colleen, I won't stop writing if I decide to put everything in my heart down, you mean everything to me and always will.. Now I got tears... I truly loved you and you knew it.ill love you always Colleen my wife. Kisses...'tears'
