HOWARD, Colleen Margaret. Your love, humour and conversation will be eternally missed. We learned the importance of a hug as have your darling granddaughters. The strength you have shown through this epic journey is truly an inspiration to us all. I hope we fulfilled your wishes during those final days. You were surrounded with family and love. It was a special send- off Mum, our lives have changed forever. We all look forward to a chat under the magnolia. Rest in peace Mum. Greg, Jill, Holly and Sinead.

HOWARD, Colleen Margaret. To the woman who taught and showed me love, my Nana. Without love, one being has nothing. My Nana gave love to all that ever crossed her path. She is a woman who portrayed grace, beauty, compassion and honesty. You are now free of pain and suffering and that for you was my one wish. May the universe continue to bless you with laughter, sunshine and love for you will forever live on and shine through the family you have created. As I once said to you before, Nana I wish I could bless you with the ability to have seen yourself as others saw you, because then you would truly know how very special you are. These words belong to you. Forever and a day, I will love you. May you now rest in peace. Forever with love, Holly.

HOWARD, Colleen Margaret. My dearest Nana Colleen, I think the hardest thing is to express how much you love someone in the shortest way possible. I've thought about it Nana, you are an inspiration to anyone who has ever crossed your path. You're unconditional love and support towards me and every member of this beautiful family is admired, appreciated and loved to the full. I love you Nana, I know you'll be there watching over me every day and cheering me on as I dance. Shine over us Nana. Give us the strength you had inside you every day. Everything I do from now on is inspired by the thought of you. Your beautiful glowing smile, I see it in the stars. I can feel you Nana, I love you, it is not goodbye, just see you soon. From the youngest Sinead.

HOWARD, Colleen Margaret. Passed away with dignity on 8 November 2010 after a brave struggle. A cherished and loving mum of Sheree and adored, doting Nana of Sam and Josh. She taught us how to listen, laugh and love. A beautiful lady taken from us too soon but our precious memories will never fade.

HOWARD, Colleen Margaret. My beautiful darling Nana, although your physical presence is no longer with us, the good times and memories you have created will be forever lasting in my heart. Your smooth, quick wit and loving touch that only my Nana could possess will be painfully missed but not forgotten. I love you Nana, rest in peace. Your big boy Sam.
