Default A Fond Farewell Geez Louise

Geez Louise - Colleen - has contacted a number of people to bid us farewell.

For those unaware - Col is facing more chemotherapy and surgery in London to help her battle with cancer.

Col won't be logging back in and therefore won't see this thread, but I wanted to start this thread so others can say their goodbyes and pay tribute to a fun loving lady who's good humour and lovely nature has given us many reasons to smile.

From my perspective; Thank you Col, for your supportive comments in some of my more troubling times and for making me smile with your funny posts.
I'll miss hearing from you but will continue to hold you in my thoughts and prayers. : Stay strong Col and fight hard my friend!

Duke

Prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I have never met Colleen but I have read many of her posts. She really brightens up the forums and she will be missed during her temporary absence.

I had no idea / I've only been on here for a short time but Colleen impressed me as someone who is very friendly and fun.

My prayers and hopes are with you.

Christ. That is terrible news.

To Geez Louise and family, my best wishes. I didn't realise Colleen was so sick - she was in Egypt not that long ago.

A most unfortunate situation for Colleen & Family to be in. I hope their trip is successful and that she is back with us soon.

If she is traveling all the way to England to get treatment i assume she'll get the best possible care.
All the best, look for to seeing her back when she is ready.

I like wise would like to say that she was a fantastic lady, and on my first outing with the forum both her and jack really went out of their way to make us feel welcome.

i sure hope to be talking to you again soon

This come as a big shock to Me , I have become close to Colleen over the last months/year and have shared many conversations via PM and jokes on messenger and via SMS.
She even sent me a email recently after seeing I was looking for employees , offering to come and help out without pay! she is a true friend to many of us on this forum and she will be missed.
I wish her all the best in her treatment & hope to see her back on here soon.
