We've just heard, on another board, news that we have a hard time believing or fathoming.  If anyone has any knowledge would you please message me.

Read my bowling radio reviews at www.bowlingboards.com and come join us there.

I offer my sincerest condolences to Thong Princess’s family.  

Though I only “knew” of her through this board, she always seemed like a genuinely good person.  May you Rest in Peace, Colleen.

We will be known forever by the tracks we leave.

Man....I haven't been on the site in a week, and I was having an ok day (it's my mom's B-day today)...and now this?!?

I really can't believe this is true, except that many people that I respect on here have already said so.....This is truly a very sad day for this site, and bowling in general (though many outside of her association will never know what they've missed out on).

I will definately say a prayer for her tonight, and hope that it wasn't a painful experience for her. There's not many people outside my inner circle that I'd ever say this about, but I really loved that woman as a person....just the few times I'd met her in person I could tell she was very genuine. She will be missed but not forgotten....

RIP Colleen aka ThongPrincess 4/4/09

Wow, this is just too unbelievable. My condolences to her family and friends. This is a huge loss to the BR community as well.

She was my best friend on BR.  We bowled a couple of the get togethers in Winston-Salem together, bowled the get together in St Louis, made up teams for the Hoinke 2 yrs.  She used to ship her equipment to me to save on airfare, I would pick her up in Indianapolis and we'd head to the tournaments.

Can't believe 10 years has gone by that fast and that such a super person has left us.
