This was shocking news to me and I hope you, Emily and the rest of your family are holding up. In my opinion, the loss of a mother is one of the hardest things one must endure.

PERFECTION Dear Colleen; When Norman dropped into the salon Thursday, I never dreamed we would never have another of our 'little talks'. Although you did not train me as a Hairstylist, you taught me so much about our business.You sent me many professional hairstylists, some who are still with me. My mother was a friend and colleague of yours and we often heard in our family business---"Colleen.....Colleen said.....!" When it was time for us to join the business, my sister trained with you and I went to your mentor Cecelia in Winnipeg. Over the years we shared many classes, competitions and judging events. You told me that in order to be a good competetion judge, I had to compete- to know that side of the story!!! I did! Always pushing for perfection- over the past 30 years you have always been my secret adviser and supporter. You were a shining light of perfection in all avenues of your life. Our last little talk, in December, in your perfectly appointed livingroom, I shared a picture of us with our mentor, Cecelia- from 25 years ago. We laughed about how much things have changed. As usual we talked a bit about business; always a little criticism, but always constructive. In our final embrace we wished each other a happy and successful New Year! I guess your work here was done! SUCH PERFECTION! THANK YOU THANK YOU - Rest in Peace Colleen. Jamie Anderson and my sister Heather Owners of Hairacys P.S. Until we meet again - Say hello to Mum.

So deeply saddened by the news of Colleen's passing. She will be missed by all who knew her. I met her when I started at NBCC and was going to the Beauty Culture area to have her fix my hair before going to work, which she did on numerous occasions. She was a beautiful person, inside and out. Cherish the memories you have of her and pass down to your grand daughter. May the spirit of her life live on through you and those closest to you. RIP Colleen. You will be missed and always remembered. `Michelle Robertson
