Colleen you are the best big sister anyone could ask for. You always put everyone and everything before your needs, we’re going to miss you so much down here. But you’re with your husband and your son hope you’ve messed over the years. Please watch over your family down here I love you more than anything and rest in peace big sister ️ ❤️
I connected with Colleen a few months back on FaceBook when I saw her one post & sent her a message asking if she was Patty McPartlin McGinnis daughter. Patty & I were friends back in our youth, we lived around the corner from each other. Last time I saw Patty was several years ago when we ran into each other at Franks gas station. We both were shocked & so happy to see each other after so many years gone by.
Colleen was so sweet in getting back to me & exchanging updates . I was hoping that one day when I get back home to Buffalo for a visit that we would be able to meet in person.
My deepest sympathy to all of Colleens family & friends. Prayers & GOD Bless you all.
RIP Colleen
