Roger and Marie, I am so sorry for your loss. When I saw the notice I remembered when we were in Mesa and you were talking to her on the phone. I cut in and said “Ho, Ho, Ho!’ There was a long silence and she said “Is that you, Santa?’ I kept up the act and she was so excited to have spoken to Santa Claus. We repeated the act several times and we all got a kick out of it.
That will be my best memory of her. Take care of yourselves. All my best, Doug

I wanted to offer my condolences to the family of Colette. It’s horrible for someone to be taken so young. I wanted to share a scripture that has helped and comforted me and others in these tragic times. John 5: 28, 29 “All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” I look forward to the time when those that we love will be resurrected. I hope this brings you the same comfort it has brought me. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Kiva Blatter
I miss you so much and still to this day, 6 months later, I wish it wasn’t true. There isn’t a day that goes by where you aren’t on my mind. I love you more than all the stars in the sky mom.
Tiffanie Sepulveda
Dearest Colette, You will be missed by many. Almost one year has passed and I still think of often. You’re in my thoughts and prayers Cole.
Gina Ballatore
Well I still can’t believe your gone. It still doesn’t seem real. It was just the other day we were both in the lovely summer camp we both loved. Or when we went swimming in Joel’s pool and caused an up-roar…. or when you spent your last $10 on getting poodle poo a pink sweater! She loved it, and I loved you for it. Well friend we sure did go through some hard times that’s for sure but we also had a lot of fun times and I’m going to miss you like crazy . I love you…Your friend always, GINA BALLATORE
