Such a lovely celebration of Colleen's life yesterday. So nice to see everyone. I remember a school holiday visit to the Houghton farm with my dolls where Colleen spent the week sewing the most beautiful dolls clothes for me. Gorgeous fabrics and intricate sewing of whole outfits some of which lasted close to 50 years. The advantages of being a niece to an aunt who had four sons who I don't recall had much interest in dolls.

My thoughts are very much with all the family today as you farewell and share memories of Colleen - and Bruce too. So many great times with all our 'larger families' in our area. Church, sport, gardens - even knitting!. Rest in peace Colleen x

Our deepest sympathy to all the Houghtons, love Trudy and Ross Hart and family. Condolences also from Dot Morris, neighbour and golf buddy many years ago, so many shared car rides and conversations remembered.
