Warren, AR Tuesday, November 15, 2016 Collin will surely be missed by a lot of people. My husband and I loved her so much. She baked him a pan of dinner rolls when he had open heart surgery in 2005, and he said that she was a very nice lady. She always had a beautiful smile and was a very kind, loving, generous and thoughtful person. We will miss her. RIP Coleen, God loves you.JC
, MO Tuesday, November 15, 2016 Please accept my sincere condolences. It breaks our hearts when death separates us from the ones we love so much. The Bible reminds us that God sees our pain and sadness and has promised that soon "death will be no more."(Revelation 21:4) He will heal our broken hearts by resurrecting our dear loved ones to life again.(John 6:40) Until then, I hope the beautiful memories of Coleen and these promises from God comfort you in the days to come.Tamika Davis
