I was so shocked to see that Colleen had passed away last month. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, though the mercy of God, rest in peace.Betty Janelle [Jan] Harris (Barnes)
So sorry hearing about Colleen's passing. Always enjoyed our time spent cheering on the Wolfpack together. May she rest in peace.

I just can't get used to losing people who have meant so much to me. With the age we are now I realize it will be happening more and more often and the day will come that it'll be my name stating my passing. I adored Colleen and we became so very close through all our cheer practices and games but most of all just getting together and having so much fun together. Colleen was a true friend and we shared such wonderful times together. She was funny as hell. I had so much respect and admiration for her. This world is less bright without her in it but wow, heaven sure has lucked out. May her family and friends find solace in knowing how many of us loved her and may their memories being comfort.
