After the service, the stage was opened to family and friends to remember and pay tribute to Colleen Rachele.  Lucille shared childhood memories and shared memorabilia.  Franci Jarrard shared her tribute and remembrance of Colleen and Bill in the early days of Anderson Fair and then of recent years when Colleen and Bill began to work and sing together.  A lady (yet unknown) sang an original composition for Colleen titled "Dove".  Hopefully she will make contact and share her lyrics.  Bill and Lucille ended the service leading all in Stephen Foster's Hard Times Come Again No More.

Music was provided through the evening by Stephen and Franci Jarrard;  Rebels Without Applause--Sherry Reihle, Steve Baker and Kurt Ruthstrom;  Hearin Now--Will and Lynette;  Alicia Gill and Mike Davis--vocals and guitars--Ellen Moore,viola and Doug Duryea, bass;  and Norm Ballanger--vocals, guitar, and percussion.

Life Notes
 

Colleen was born March 27, 1974 in Houston, Texas to Bill and Lucille Cade.  She graduated from S.F. Austin High School, where she was first chair flute in the band.  She always loved music and people.

On April 6, 2001 she married Russell Atwood whom she loved and respected.  They were building their future together and recently bought their first house.  She sang and performed with her Dad and they had just released their first CD.  It was hard work, but she was proud of the direction given by Bill.  She loved singing and her voice had never sounded better.

She watched over her two younger sisters, Darcy and Sally Borella, saying that she didnít want them to make the same ìmistakesî that she had, and grew to be their and her motherís friend.

Her first hours of life were spent at Anderson Fair with friends, as this was her first stop on the way home from the hospital; her last performance was at Anderson Fair, New Yearís Eve 2002; so it is fitting that we gather here to celebrate her life.

The Anderson Fair family is deeply saddened by the recent death of Colleen Cade.  Colleen grew up as a member of our extended family.  We watched her from childhood, to a teenager, to a young woman.  She always ad a great energy about her that just made you want to be close.  Her inherited musical talents were just beginning to come to fruition.  She worked very hard to develop her skills.  Strong vocals, a relaxed stage presence, and an ear for the subtle nuances of delivering a phrase set her apart as an artist with a bright future.  We will miss those evenings of music, we will miss those great harmonies she delivered while performing with her dad, but most of all we will miss the strong confident woman she had become.  She was simply a great spitit and a good friend.
