Tributes

On behalf of Michael, myself and our families, we wish to pass on our love and sympathy to the Harbidge family on Colleen's passing. Colleen always extended warmth, hospitality, and friendship to our family when Sarah joined theirs. Tony and Beverly always enjoyed catching up and spending time with Colleen. She was a generous, engaging and kind person who was always interested in what we were doing, and we were. Colleen was good fun, and she and Noel leave an amazing legacy through her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. With my love, Robyn (Walker) Beattie

Peter, David, Sue, Leanne and Michael, my heart and my prayers are with you all and with your families. I will miss Colleen and our conversations. I will not miss the calls at 2 or 3 am because she got the time difference confused. Actually, I didn’t mind really. Noel and Colleen will always have a special place in my heart. My love to you all, Jimmy and the rest of your American Family.
