Caroline was the kindest and most gentle person. She made friends for life and so many people have been touched by her. She was my best friend, I will miss her every day. Caroline was Mums angel and this I can never replace. We were a great team and life seemed so much brighter and easier with Caroline in it.

Martin, Rebecca, Claire, Jon and Eric were her rocks, you were always in her stories and she had the best family in you all. She has done so much with you – the stories and memories are endless. Caroline worked at SRO forever! The people she met and the journey she travelled with Martin was if nothing else a blast. Martin was her brother, best friend and annoying boss all rolled into one!

I know that she loved her Russian evenings and holidays. I am not sure what she was learning, but she loved the classes held at her flat. We spent many afternoons in Croydon looking for the right biscuits!

The cat fostering was a recent event, but Caroline loved looking after these little lost souls.

I know we will all own something that she made for us; whether it was a knitted scarf, a chain mail bracelet or a lamp. Caroline was a creative soul. I hope as she sits looking down on us with my Dad and our other loved ones, with a cocktail in hand, that she can see we are all missing her dreadfully and love her very much.
