The words of a hymn keeps going through my mind today:
Each life that touches our for good
Reflects thine own great mercy, Lord;
Thou sendest blessings from above
Thru words and deeds of those who love.
What greater gift dost thou bestow,
What greater goodness can we know
Than Christ-like friends,whose gentle ways
Strengthen our faith, enrich our days.
When such a friend from us departs,
We hold forever in our hearts
A sweet and hallowed memory,
Bringing us nearer, Lord, to thee.
For worthy friends whose lives proclaim
Devotion to the Savior
s name,
Who bless our days with peace and love,
We praise thy goodness, Lord above.##imported-begin##Julie Nitzel##imported-end##

Dear Kirk and family: We are sorry we will not be able to attend the service of our dear friend and sister in the gospel, Colleen. She was a true friend and example of the gospel to me and our family.
We want you to know we love you and you are in our thoughts and prayers. We feel blessed to have known such a valiant servant. She has touched our lives in so many small and large ways and we will ALWAYS remember her for all the good she has done. Much love, the Roisum family##imported-begin##Margaret, Eliza and Chloe Roisum##imported-end##

Dear Kirk, Lachelle, Tysen, Trent, Kory and Kevin - I was so sad to see Colleen's obituary in the newspaper this morning. I have always considered her a friend. We met each other during our many years at Chambers and then met frequently at all the baseball practices and games and of course, all our wonderful years in soccer. She was always a fun lady to sit with and talk about our children and our University Place schools and community. I have so many very fond memories of all our "Mom" years together. She was a wonderful woman, wife and mother - and although we haven't had many opportunities to meet in the past few years, I will always think of her fondly.

Dear Kirk and Family, Frank and Faye,
When Colleen first brought Trent to me for violin lessons I realized what an incredible person she is. Her understanding of that precious little boy (he was 5) was something I'll never forget. To have shared music and the gospel with them is a privilege I shall treasure always. Her wonderful attitude in the face of illness is an inspiration to me as we now face Bob's illness. My prayers, and thoughts with each of you.
Much love, Jerry##imported-begin##Jerry Evans##imported-end##

Dear Kirk, Family, Frank and Faye,
How much we would like to be with you on April 12 and share with you the great loss of Colleen. I have fond memories of her involvement with my students, in particular Kory who has done so well. Her amiable manner affected our lessons and she always presented a cheerful aura. We're sorry you must be without her for a while but know that in the eternal scope of things we will all be together. God bless you in this very difficult time. Love, Bob##imported-begin##Bob Evans##imported-end##

Dear White Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful mom, wife, and friend. I hope someday I am remembered as fondly and with such admiration. However, she really is not gone, just away for a while, watching you from a better place. With concern and condolences - Laurie##imported-begin##Laurie Wiens Anderson##imported-end##

I and my family was fairly new to the Tacoma area and Sunset Ward (less than 2 years)and we found it difficult to establish friendships and feel at home. Then the Relief Society Presidency was changed and Colleen was called as the Relief Society President and I was called as secretary. This turned out to be an answer to my prayers. I loved working as secretary and soon knew all of the sisters in the ward.
As a result of our association I came to know Colleen and her loving and kind ways. She distained pretense and good humoredly acknowledged those areas where she lacked, such as cooking or keeping a perfect house. She truly loved the uproar of a household full of mostly young boys and had a relaxed approach to dealing with flying footballs close to windows. I was warmly accepted and though I had much to learn she was a patient teacher. She wholeheartedly loved and served the Lord and set an example of true dedication to the gospel.
My whole family was affected by my association with Colleen because we soon were friends with her whole family. Kirk coached T-ball and my son was invited to participate on his team. Then came soccer. Damon was not that good at those sports but our whole family was attending practices and games. The friendships that we developed with the White family and their example of love and service, I believe, played a part in changing the heart of Tim, which eventually led to his full participation in the church and which eventually led to our temple marriage. For this I am eternally (literally) grateful.
My love to all the White family.##imported-begin##Julie Nitzel##imported-end##
