Colleen Dau

I had the pleasure of working with Colleen from the beginning of her career with TTI. I looked forward to seeing her bright friendly smile as she walked into my office whether it was an official visit or strictly a social. Most of the time it ended up being both. She was always most appreciative of any help she received.
We had many opportunities to share stories about our children. She loved Christopher & Alexandra fiercely as well as her husband Jeff.
After her diagnosis I made a point to see her at least once a day to make her laugh & lift up her spirits. I could tell my the look on her face if she was agitated & soon as she saw me coming she’d start smiling. She was a very strong brave woman and I definitely was blessed to be her friend. Rest is pease until we meet again my sweet friend!

I was blessed to have Colleen as my sister even though we lived miles apart, Colleen in College Station, Tx and me in upstate N.Y., but we always kept in touch every Sunday by phone. She was always upbeat, outgoing and optimistic.
She loved her family deeply, her husband Jeff and son Christopher and daughter Alexandra, they all meant the world to her and she cherished them deeply.
She never complained about her fight with cancer she kept on going never giving up the fight. She was a fighter, a hero and an angel. I will miss her kindness, and most of all her smile.
She is at peace and in heaven with God and Jesus.
Love you Colleen you are deeply missed and loved, see you soon.

I was a foreign student coming to Texas A&M for the very first time. Colleen worked in the same office space I worked in at TTI. I just remember her kindness and willingness to help me with getting settled in, dealing with professors, and work colleagues and just generally made my life a whole lot easier and better – (apart from the laughs she got from me trying to pronounce her name right the first time). I remember I had a hard time during my thesis especially, and she was just there with a big smile after my thesis defense. And I remember her excitement for me when I got a full-time job after graduation. I miss her smile, her generosity, and the small pep talks she’d give me from time to time when I felt a bit lost. My big regret is that I didn’t let her know enough how much she had helped me and meant to me. Heaven is definitely richer with her presence.

I will miss my dear sister in law and her smiling, kind manner. In better times, Colleen and I always enjoyed a fine wine together! Seeing the photos posted on line by Chris and Alex brought back memories of the many happy and celebratory times with our family. Colleen was a beautiful soul. Talking with Colleen and Jeff during these last two years reminded me what a fighter Colleen was and how dedicated Jeff was in helping her through her constant battle. May our dear Colleen finally rest in peace, and my dear brother Jeff, nephew Chris, and niece Alex find comfort through their wonderful memories of Colleen.

Colleen was my cousin, we had many good times together, Loved her very much
