Mother, you taught me so much in my years from the time I was a baby. I would not have become the woman I am today if it wasn’t for you being in my life and guiding and protecting me for many years. You will be forever remembered, loved and appreciated. I love you and may you Rest In Peace.

I am sorry to hear of Colleen's passing. Colleen spent a lot of time with my mother conversing in French. It's sad that I was unable to attend the funeral, but now she rest in peace. My heart goes out to the family.

I had the honour of sitting with Colleen for almost two years, in the later stages of her life. She was an inspiration and joy to be around. We sang, talked, and laughed all the time. I will always smile when I think of her and will never forget our time together.
Colleen was a wonderful lady that will be deeply missed. My sincerest sympathies to the family.
