Words cannot begin to express the heartfelt sorrow that I feel for the passing of Colette. I extend my sincerest condolences to her husband David, and to the entire Richardson family. Colette was a very special individual – a sweet and compassionate, vibrant young woman that always spoke from the heart. Colette’s presence brightened the lives of all those she touched, and quite simply, made this world a much better place. She was one-of-a-kind. I will miss her smiling face, her warm and friendly personality, and her overall angelic demeanor. She was truly a blessing in our lives. We will never forget you.

I am so deeply saddened.
When I think back, Colette was my first real friend. The first person outside of my family I connected with. This friendship was as pure and simple as one could hope for. One of Saturday morning dance lessons, barbies, sleepovers, and hours of outdoor play at the neighbourhood park.
I am grateful for these memories and the gift of her friendship.

Colette was in life one of those special people that shines with God's love of the world. She has now returned to him and rests in his strong arms with no more pain, only the warm comfort of his love. Those of us who knew her know how much God loves us because he sent her into our lives. It may seem like forever but when we see her next we will have her forever. May our father in heaven keep you and comfort you till we see her again..

To Colette's Family and Dearest Friends,
We were so sorry to hear this very sad news. I met Colette while working at OPG many years ago and we quickly became friends. She was a truly beautiful person - fun-loving, caring, funny, intelligent, driven, outgoing, adventurous and kind. Her positive outlook on life displayed through her beautiful smile and laugh were incredibly contagious, which I'll remember as one of her special gifts. Our thoughts are with you as you navigate through this difficult time of mourning together. She will be remembered for the beautiful person she was and will be very missed.
Love,
