I met Colleen and her husband Garland almost 30 years ago and maintained friendship with Colleen after Garland passed away. I always stopped by to visit when I passed through North Carolina. Colleen was one of the nicest and most gracious people I have met, I am proud to have been able to call her a friend. Always charming and witty.
