Sincere sympathy to all of you. Mrs. Collea certainly lead a life of caring and generously sharing her many talents.
May knowing she is now in Heaven free of pain and suffering, and she is still watching over all of you bring you comfort now and in the days ahead.
Those we hold closest to our hearts never truly leave us. They live on in the kindness they have shared, and the love they brought into our lives.
You are in my daily thoughts and prayers.
Love, Maureen

To my good friend Nancy, Joe Sr. & extended family:
Please accept my deepest condolences in the loss of your Mom/Wife/Grandmother. May you find peace and comfort knowing she is now free of all pain. And that she left this world taking tons of love with her, which her husband, children and grandchildren bestowed upon her over the years. Nancy, your mother couldn't have asked for a more caring and compassionate daughter. May God give you strength in these difficult days ahead.
Sincerely,
