Tribute by Father Joe Maier
“To Colin,
my friend and brother, partner in the fray - who in your lifetime decided upon
a path on your pilgrim journey passing through this earth - two roads diverged
in a wood, and you Colin, took the one less travelled by and that has made all
the difference!
May your
Spirit be Tranquil.
Joe H.
Maier
Tribute by Dr. Monty Morris, Vicar
It’s one year since Colin
died and I still constantly hear people say, "I miss Colin". Of
course we miss him! He was not just our Doctor – he was part of every family. He
was one of the few remaining “family” doctors left and was the epitome of the
caring, loving, insightful, professionally brilliant medico, who could double
as a first-class psychiatrist. We prayed hard for Colin's survival with us but
God decided otherwise. When he was in I.C.U. and some time before he died,
Colin asked me one day if he could have a cross. I gave him one of my
collar-crosses and it remained pinned to his pillow from then on. If you look
at his memorial plaque in the Garden you will see the cross, at Kamala's
request, inserted in the Marble.
Colin was
ready to go on around the corner. May we all be so blessed.
Monty
Morris.
