To Scott and Family, I was just told about Colleen's passing and I am so shocked and saddened by it. You might remember that I taught with Colleen in The kindergarten readiness program in Lombard for about 10 years. She was such a kind and gentle person and teacher and very effective with the young children. I was just thinking about her the other day and how nice it would be to get the old gang together again. I am so sorry for you and your children . You lost a wonderful wife and mother. Please accept my condolences.
