My dear Carol, thank you for being kind and caring. You were always so warm and welcoming when I visited from Australia. You have a heart of gold and you made me feel apart of your family. I fondly remember the first time we met. We had a lovely holiday with you and Steve at Noosa. We all had way too many drinks at "happy hour" and ended up taking photos of ourselves wearing a corona bucket! You were always good fun to be around. Sending big hugs and love from Brisbane, to all of the family in NZ. Carol, you are at peace now. Your wings were ready, but our hearts were not. You'll be forever in my heart. Suzi Latta x
