Well, here we are again. Your Birthday is here and it's still not any easier. It's been 4 years and I miss you more than ever. They say this gets easier with time, but it's not. Days like this are hard, but I think back on all the good times and I cherish the memories we had together. I will always love you.

Here we are again on your birthday. I miss you deeply, but know you are resting with the Lord. There are days I want to pick up the phone and call you, but I know you are not there. I will always remember the good times we shared, the laughter, the tears and all of the memories we shared together. I still love you and always will. You will forever have a piece of me that no one can fill, or take away.
Happy Birthday Baby. Gone but not Forgotten.

On this 2nd Angelversary I am thinking about you and the day we had to say goodbye. I know you are at peace with God in Heaven and some day we will be together again. I take solace in knowing you are no longer suffering, or in pain.
Rest with the Angels Sweetheart. I love you.

As your 2 year Angelversary approaches, I am still missing you. I don't know what that day will hold for me, but I know It will not be easy. Some days are ok, others are difficult at best, but I will keep going on and try to be strong until the day God calls me home to be with you.
I love you and always will.

I was one of many kids Colleen and the Burkman selflessly took in and helped in a very difficult part of my life. Colleen will always be the strongest woman I know. Great full is not a strong enough word to describe how great full I am for Colleen and the Burkman family. Colleen I wish I could tell you how much you helped me. You are in a better place now and will forever be remembered by me as the strong woman who was there for me when others where not. I will always have the up most respect and love for you.

A Beauty and Spirit only She could Understand

January 12, 2014

For 29 years Colleen was my rock, my life and my soul partner. When she recieved the news on Christmas day 2008 she never even shed a tear, her only concern was how our daughter was going to take the news.

Colleen never let her illness get her down, or change who she was. She kept going as if nothing were wrong and insisted she would not be defeated by this thing called cancer. When she was diagnosed for the second time, her attitude never changed, she believed in her heart that she would beat this.

Even in her final weeks/days, she did not feel sorry for herself, nor did she let it get her down. Like the trooper she was, she kept up, or tryed to keep up a good front for the family.

I can only hope I have half the strength, and can be half the person she was. She will always be an inspiration to me. I will always love her.
