You leave behind a wonderful family who are so proud of you and your achievements in life. Time to rest now Colleen, you certainly have earned it. To Megan and Deanna, stay strong for Dad and the grandkids . You have done an awesome job looking after Mum during her illness, now time to look after yourselves. My heart bleeds for you all whilst I shed a tear. Rest in peace and love Colleen. You have earned those wings, time to join the angels. Love Christine
