To the Tasker Family , I am so sorry that Colleen has passed I had a lot to do with her when she was accounting. We had a lot of interesting conversations and she was such a soft kind Lady.

Diane and family, I’m so sorry for your loss of Colleen. I worked with her for many years and will remember her as a lovely, outgoing person who was always generous and wanting to help where she could. I have fond memories of our work Melbourne Cup sweepstakes. Thinking of you all at this sad time.
