I'm so sorry! Our prayers are with you.

We wourn with you.

It is a strange thing to know the depth of mourning one can experience over the loss of a sister so loved and yet to also feel such joy knowing she is finally home. Our hearts grieve her loss with you all. May you find comfort in each others arms as you also rest in the everlasting arms of our precious Father. We love you. The Bernier Family

Dear Moeller family,

I logged on today, hoping for an update but not expecting the news I've seen. My heart aches for you but rejoices for Colleen as her earthly pain and suffering are over. Colleen was such a friend to me during my own cancer battle, always encouraging me each step along the way. I was honored to call her my friend, even if we lived 1000 miles apart.

God answered a prayer of mine - to get to meet her this side of Heaven, this winter as we traveled to IL for the E. wedding. What a blessing it was to hug her and see her warm smile! I treasure that moment and look forward to seeing her again, someday, pain and illness free.

You all will continue to be in my prayers, as you have for many months now, as you start on a new journey. May the Lord comfort you each step of the way.

In His love,
Kim Kelly (Tomball, TX)

Many, many prayers will be offered up for all of you!

I am so so sorry. My mom died from ovarian cancer when I was 30. I was still single at the time and we were very close. It was so hard to bear. I will pray that God will sustain you through this difficult time. Your mom sure was special. I've been reading her blog for the past couple of years and am amazed at how strong her faith was. What a testimony! It must be a blessing knowing that she is with the Lord and you will see her again!

So sad to hear the news of Colleen's passing. We are weeping and praying for your pain and sorrow. What a peace to know that she is with our Lord now. We will definitely keep your family in our prayers and hope to make it to her funeral. WE love you!

May the Lord comfort your family at this time. What a beautiful life your Mother lived and now she is eternally happy, safe, well, joyful, and at peace. She is with Jesus! It truly is well with her soul. I will be praying for each of you in the days ahead. I know that is is a great loss, but that you take comfort in knowing that one day you will be with her again in heaven. How good God is.
Love and Prayers,
Grace

I only meet your mom few minutes in the past homeschooling convention, but from those few minutes I knew she is a great mom and I am sure she is in much better place right now.

Our prayers will be with you in this dificult days

We are grieving the loss of our precious sister in Christ, but rejoicing in the overwhelming joy that is Colleen's today. Please know we are praying for you tonight.

I will say a prayer for your family. I can't imagine what you're going through even though.

God bless you and your family.

I see the light around the throne, I hear the angels sweetly sing, and as I break these mortal chains, I feel my soul take wing!.....may the peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep you.

Bryan & family,

We are so sorry to hear of your mom's passing.
We will both say a prayer for her trip to heaven.

Dear Moeller family,

Our prayers are with you all during this time. We are very saddened to hear of your loss, but we rejoice to know your precious mother is in the presence of our dear Savior. We have been so very blessed by your family and the friendship with you. Please let us know if we might be of help in any way.

We are also experiencing a sad time in our family right now. Our dad's uncle (our great-uncle) found out on Monday that he has a very fast-growing cancer. The doctors say he won't be with us very much longer--it could be only an hour or two.

May God's sustaining love and grace surround and comfort you all.

We never met your mother but met her thru Bryan's eyes. Bryan kept us updated on Mom. Our hearts go out to all of you at this time of sorrow.

Amber and Family, I wrote not to long ago and I just want you to know that your are all in my prayers. What an encouragement you have all been to me. Especially as a homeschooling mom. The one thing this blog has done for me the past two years is something that was so evident in your families life and that was Psalm 90:12" So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto Wisdom." Also, to wake up each day and live life to it's fullest and cherish those that God puts on our journey. Although we have not met this side of Heaven I am sure glad to know I will get to meet your mom in person on the other side. The Angels are rejoicing. I also pray that these writings will become a book. I long to read this over and over again. With all my love and prayers.

Dear Moeller Family,
You do not know me but for some time now I have had the privilege of reading your mother's inspirational blogs as she declined in health. I grew up around many people who were godly examples and I could tell her humble faith through her writing that she was one as well. I noticed her love for old hymns, a love I share, and do believe she is happy to be pain free and another voice in the choir of heaven...right next to my mother. May the Grace of God be with you as you struggle with missing your sweet mother.

Hi There...

We only met her once (when she was visiting Shannon in San Antonio at our church), but it was easy to see what a gentle and godly person she was. I've really enjoyed and been encouraged by her blog over the past few years. May the Lord comfort all of you during this time.

In Christ,
Holly and Darren Whittemore

My dear Amber and Family,
With a full heart I can only say how thankful I am for you that God has given you this treasure in your mom, that is now waiting for you in heaven. I have read and gone on this journey with you through these past three years, and thank your family for sharing it and blessing so many others. The Lord be with you--I have no doubt about that.
Praise God for the joy Colleen is experiencing right now.

On October 11, 2007, I lost my father to liver cancer. The Lord took him at 4:25 a.m. I know it is difficult to loose someone you love very much, even when you try to be strong. There are many emotions wrapped-up in your soul. It took me 8 months to fully grieve about my father's death. I pray to our Father in Heaven that your grief time will be short, and that soon, joy and peace will return within your family household. May the memory of Colleen's strength, love, and happiness dwell within your soul always. You will always miss Colleen, as I always miss my father and that is okay. Just remember that one day, you will see Colleen again in heaven. May God's gracious Holy Spirit guide you and fill your home and hearts with love and support during this difficult adjustment in your life.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I know your hearts will be heavy with sorrow, missing her here on earth, but I also know your hearts are full of joy, with the knowledge that she is in the arms of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

I have followed this blog since right after your mom was diagnosed. I can't even remember how I heard about her diagnosis or how I linked over here, but I have been blessed with all that I have read while here.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!

Dear Amber and Family,
Having lost my husband to cancer five years ago, I have been grateful you have savored these last three years together. What a dear wife and companion, mother and friend. You - and Colleen - have loved well, lived well. May the Lord heal the ache in your hearts and continue to guide your steps as you trust Him in the journey before you.

From her posts and those few treasured times we had to fellowship together, Colleen seemed to me to actually live on the other side of the veil as she walked through her days, even when the way was most arduous for her. Colleen shone as a rare jewel as the character of Christ was being perfected in her life. She is now among the great cloud of witnesses surrounding us! I rejoice in her faithful example and gentle ways, the many expressions of a deep abiding confidence in the goodness and wisdom of the Lord, the testimony of a life well-lived. You, her family, have been such an integral part of this, with your love, support, tenderness, encouragement, example, companionship ... your own deep confidence in the Lord and His ways. What a legacy!

I am a friend of the Smith's in Oregon. I have followed your family's progress and have continually prayed! I am so sorry to hear of Colleen's home-going because she leaves all of you behind, but rejoice that she is standing before her Jesus and He is saying "Well done my good and faithful servant". I will continue to pray that God will heal your hearts and strengthen you over the next weeks and months. I lost my dear father-in-law on Memorial Day and though I know he is with his Jesus and I wouldn't wish him back, I also miss him terribly. However, God has "soft spot" for those who mourn and as Jesus said in the sermon on the mount, "they will be comforted". I know He will be your comfort in the days ahead. His promises are true. With Love, Mary Buzzell, Salem, Oregon

Amber and family,

You all have been in our prayers and will continue to be so...what a testimony your mother had.

I am so sorry to hear about this news. The photo showing makes it obvious you have a beautiful family and I am sure it is difficult to deal with such a loss.

I did not get the news about Colleen's homegoing until today. Just wanted to let you know that we are praying for you and thinking of you -- and rejoicing that your mother is free of pain and in the presence of Christ. My father went Home eleven years ago this past June, and the thought of him awaiting us there has brought Heaven so much closer. I know the Lord will continue to comfort you and lift you up even as you grieve for your precious mother.
