    Deepest condolences to Aunty Colleen Children and Grandchildren., may God give you all the strength to deal with the loss of your mother. Aunty Colleen held a very special place in my heart, not just as my aunt but as a final, living connection to my own mother when i met her in Australia. I will always treasure the memories we shared. Rest in peace, Aunty.

    Grieved to hear of the sad demise of Colleen. I remember the days we worked in Brooke Bond, Colleen was a quiet and reserved lady. She kept to herself but was polite to each and everyone. I spent time with her when she came to Calcutta with her son. I would visit her every evening at the guest house to see how she was doing. May God grant Colleen eternal rest and peace in the arms of the Lord among his angels and saints. My heartfelt condolences to Brian and Daphne and their families and may God grant them the strength to bear this great loss. RIP Colleen.
