Message from Mother-In-Law

I recently had a reading with Colleen Irwin, and it was a profoundly moving experience. Colleen brought through my mother-in-law, Lucy, who had always been a bit skeptical of me. She never thought I was good enough for her precious daughter, Becky. During the reading, Lucy expressed how wrong she had been and shared her deep appreciation for the kindness I showed her in her last days. She acknowledged how I helped Becky get through her funeral, which was incredibly touching. Colleen’s kindness and ability to connect us meant the world to me. Colleen knew so much about our family that there was no way it wasn’t my mother-in-law, down to the fact that Lucy refused to call me by my preferred full name instead of Eddie as she called me.  I highly recommend her to anyone seeking genuine and heartfelt connections with their loved ones.

Sincerely,

Edward
