Dear faithful readers of Colleen’s blog. With tears mixed of joy and sorrow, I would let you know that our dear friend, mentor, and author extraordinare, completed her earthly journey this week. God called her home to eternal joy, and I rejoice in the midst of my own personal loss. I do not know any of the specific details, but I can personally attest that I had lunch with her two short weeks ago, and she was in good health and full of high spirits. If and when I hear more about any details, I will share them in a post.
For now rejoice with Colleen and do not grieve, as those who have no hope.
Blessings, Susan Marlow (Colleen’s Blog Administrator and Friend)

Colleen was our dear neighbor (along with her mother Pearl for a while) and longtime friend. She was such a faithful example of the very love of Christ to all who knew her or even just met her momentarily. She was His light in the world.
Thank you for letting us know, and please let us know if there will be a service.

those who ever knew her. Rest in Peace, Colleen.

My dearest writing teacher, mentor, and friend. God bless you for the beauty and love you added to my life and my writing. You helped me sell my first story in 1986. And encouraged and shared in my joy of being an author for the past nearly 30 years. Thank you I am looking forward to seeing you in heaven.
