Tom,Marilyn, Greg and Felicia, I can't begin to say how sorry I am for the loss of Colette. I haven't kept in touch after I moved and I can't believe that I will never be able to tell her how much she has meant to me. Life gets in the way and it's moments like this that slams you in the face. You have such a wonderful family who took me in when I had no place to go. I remember so much fun Colette and I had together. She was a wonderful racquetball player, so I hated playing her, she had a shot that hit the wall and rolled on the ground. I would get mad at her for eating slim jim's and crappy food, but was with her when we got thrown out of all you can eat, eating mac and chez from the salad bar..so broke that we only paid for one salad bar...I was so cheap..probably was me who didn't want to pay...Colette was so generous she would have paid for the whole town. We worked together almost ever shift at the walk-in clinic, Colette and I practically ran the whole place living off of jelly beans and M&M's. When we told friends we will meet them in Lake George, we rode our bikes there from East Greenbush. When my sister saw my dad at the Oyster Festival in Milford and said he's a nice guy and living in Milford, Colette came with me to CT for support and as a friend. We rode our bikes to Milford, actually twice, taking only a road map with us with us and no spare tires...wouldn't know how to change the tire anyway. Spending the summer in CT along the beach, with my dad, was fabulous. Colette, my Uncle and I read every Sidney Sheldon paperback book, rode our bikes and walked everywhere. We always had to have a destination and if we wanted yogurt coated nuts we would walk 10 miles to get them. We got our first apartment together with Greg, right above the laundry mat; too bad the heat never worked and you could see your breath. Sorry Marilyn, we did take a road trip with you mustang...Colette was always a responsible driver and we had a blast when a drunk friend wanted to drive it home, we just left him at the party. Our second apartment was amazing, but moving across the street was awful. we didn't want to rent a truck, so carried stuff on the couch, chairs, boxes one by one across the street...took forever. Colette has a clean car fetish and was always cleaning her car, my car and her mom's car, I'm talking washing, compounding, waxing, interior wash, window wash...she said she enjoyed it and I think she really did. Colette and Marianne would pick me up from work and we would go out dancing and to the RPI Frat parties. I'll never forget the time we left the dancing place in Loudonville and my passenger door fell to the ground when Colette opened the door. We peed our pants! Colette, I'm so sorry that I didn't keep in touch. You have really touch my life and I will catch up with you in heaven one day. Much Love, Debi

Dear Colette, I know it's been a while since I last saw you. Lord knows I wish you moved to Virginia with me. I miss you everyday. When I work out, I always remember how you pushed me and how much I wanted to make you happy; always looking for praise from you. I loved your free spirit; your outlook on everything; and how you spoke your mind. Your presence could be felt the minute you walked into a room and then everyone's attention turned to you. I looked forward to every (well, almost every) 5am class, even though I knew it was going to he hard. After I moved, I tried a new trainer but he wasn't Colette. There'll never be any one like you. As I sit here tearing up again, I remember the good times we had and how much I wanted to be strong like you. You were an inspiration to me and I will never ever forget you. Thank you for everything; thank you for making me who I am. I love you Colette.

I met Colette in a serious time of need. She saved me from myself. She had the kinest heart and loving way. We had a bond because of our love for animals as well. I use to make Coco some clothes and things for Jack and Jill. Colette was the brightest light in my life for years she encouraged and gave me the motivation to go on. When I originally heard of her sickness, it broke my heart. I never forgot her and asked about her often. My heart goes out to her family but to Coco, Jack and Jill too they were so much a part of her life. Im not surprised donations to the Mohawk Hudson Humane Sociiety, When I received the call today, I knew she had passed I felt it. Thank you for having an amazing daughter who was an amazing worker and was more than dedicated to all of her consumers. Our favorite trips to Price chopper and the East Greenbush Y and library. I will remember Colette forever. Im so fortunate to have met her and be in my life. MY deepest condolences, Cathy Gonzalez, Laikaluv and Versace. Spiffy is gone but he loved Colette. She will have her service on what of been his 14th birthday.

I am so very sorry for your loss. There's no words. I am very sad. I'll always remember how much Traci and Colette loved to have fun together. She lived a joyful life. I am sorry that I can't pay my condolences in person, but I have moved to Florida. My prayers are with you. May you find peace.
