At a family wedding, Milli and Don said they were going to name their baby, if a daughter, Colleen, same as me! I was very pleased! Milli was a beautiful person. Our prayers are with you all.

We have so many fond memories of our many years as Don and Milli’s next door neighbors, and our kids growing up with Colleen. We especially remember enjoying their beautiful yard more carefully maintained than ours and their love for their very special dogs. Althoug we moved away 20 years ago, we have kept up with Christmas messages reporting news of our families.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Love,

Ken and Kathy Myers
