My deepest condolences Tony. Always had a smile on your face
We will miss you so much. You are one of the good ones. Fine way too soon. Rest in peace our sweet friend.
“Mom, why do the best people die?”
“When you’re in a garden, which flowers do you pick?”
“The most beautiful ones.”
Knowing Colleen, you know that when she walked into a room, she lit it up and let’s not forget that contagious laugh she had and bright smile. True friends, the rare ones are the ones who never leave your HEART and for me that is Coleen. Even if you were separated for a while, due everyday life when you got back together after weeks, months or years apart you just picked up right where you left off. Now that she’s passed Coleen will never ever leave my HEART. Her love for life was a beautiful reflection of our Lord Jesus, and now that she has gone, I realize the big gap that she has left for so many of us.
April 13, 2025, at 11:33 am Coleen was reunited with her Father, as she entered through the gates of Heaven he told his little girl just how proud he was of her.
Lord give us all a spirit of peace, we pray, and hope in believing, knowing death is only a door we all pass through one day to be with our Heavenly Father.
Thank You for the time that we had with our beautiful friend, daughter, mother, sister, wife, aunt and grandma, and I ask the Lord to give the Family respite from the sadness they feel, fill them with renewed hope in Christ’s promises and fresh insight into all that Christ is. This we ask in His name. Pray for Tony Fox, her daughters, Amber (Raydel, Layson, Liam), and Alora (Marko ), her mother Donna, Brothers, Brian (Wendy) Terry (Alexis, Colin, and the youngest daughter), and Shawn (Lena), and all who loved her. In Jesus Name, Amen.
I don’t even know where to begin to tell you what a good friend you were to me. I have so many memories and good times we shared from Absecon to Atlantic City to Florida and Hawaii and then back to Florida… I’m so glad that after so many years apart we reconnected and it was like we skipped a beat. I am so glad I got to attend your wedding and to meet the man that worshipped the ground you walked on. He is a great man and loved you so much from the first day he met you. When you told me he asked you to marry him after only knowing you a short time I was a little Leary but after meeting him I knew he would make you happy and that he did. I hope that he is able to move on with his life without you even though I know that will be hard for him because you had that affect on people. You were such a one of a kind friend and such a ray of sunshine to everyone you met. I’m going to miss you so much and will never forget all of the great times we shared and if heaven has music every time you hear Billy Squire I know you will think of me.. I won’t worry about you because I know you are safe and with your dad once again… Rest in Peace my friend until we meet again……
Rest in peace my beautiful friend. You will be deeply missed. Until we meet again 🙏💔❤️
You are missed, especially your humor and laughter. RIP until we meet again ❤️
