10 years ago I presented at a charity group Colleen was a member of known as View. Immediately after the presentation Colleen was the first up to say hi and ask many questions, as was her keen interest in everything health and fitness related!

She suggested she had a group of friends who did a fitness circuit together and needed a trainer to continue their progress....would I like to be their new trainer?

The next 10 years saw an amazing group of ladies, with Colleen always at the helm, offer me the privilage  of training them. Don would run by as Colleen and the group did their circuit training at Sandras house, sharing his healthy lifestyle and I am sure checking that Colleen wasn't going to be too fit that he may not keep up!!

Colleen and I shared many little stories about her beautiful Grandchildren and we had so much in common with my daughter Lana a similar age to her Grandchildren. 

I will always fondly remember Colleen and her zest for life and love that I have had her in my life,she will inspire me always when thinking of her and I know that Don, Caroline and Blair, along with great friends Margaret and Sandra will always cherish the many happy memories thay all have shared with this special lady..Colleen I will miss you xx  with love always, Teresa The Trainer 

I really miss the times we shared together.  Delicious dinners, at each others houses or at Gold coast restaurants, laughter and stories shared over a bottle of wine.  Time in the gym, catching up on family news.  Col you were always such an inspiration, always so fit and energetic.  You enjoyed life to the full, travelling, spending time with your family, renovating always busy. Everything you did you did with such enthusiasm and vigour. You loved being a wife a mother, and most of all a granny. It just seems so unfair that someone as fit and healthy as you should have got cancer.

I think of our times together and miss your smiling face.  Love Don and all the family
