"I had seen Colleen many times at Shays Restaurant. I had the priveledge to meet her as well. Then I seen her at Spiros & she was quite pleased to see that I didn't just eat at Shays. It was a comical time. I will miss seeing her & chatting with her. May God have reached down & helped you home.
Until later, Pam"
