So sorry to hear of Colleen's passing. I knew her during her work in Radiology. You always knew where Colleen was by the laughter coming from the room. She certainly had a great wit and smile. Rest easy with Brian.

Colleen was a wonderful lady and a very important friend in my grandma (Eila Hutton)’s life. They were nurses together and friends for even longer.
