Kasey Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Colleen was one of our lunch bunch from the Philadelphia area. She was the most courageous young woman I have ever known. I hope those who donated to the LUNGevity walk this Saturday in my name will understand the reason why I am not walking this year. I will be in attendance at Colleen's service. I HATE LC Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
