I miss you so much my dearest friend. Life has become rather dull without you in it. Love you always. Denise T

Some things were read out at poor Carol's funeral which hurt a lot of people who were there. We know who we are (the hurt ones). And this continues to rankle, so this post is not for a particular anniversary, but to set the record straight and to pay proper tribute and respect and show the great love that Carol fostered towards her friends and relatives. Firstly, Carol was a great cook. Her Fruit Salads were legendary and as she herself said "The best in the world". Her Triffles-with a dash of Cointreau, were superb as were her also legendary Baked Apples. I remember many a time when she was in the kitchen whipping up a five star meal from just a few ingredients, happily singing away in her beautiful husky voice some ditty from Guy Mitchell- "The Lord made a Peanut, the Lord made a Whale, he sure made something when he made a Female". Or one of Elvis's songs, or her signature tune- "Robot Man" by Connie Francis, "I want a Robot Man to call my own, never have to worry 'cause he wouldn't roam.....etc". She always sang when she was happy, and her happiness was contagious. There was always a plate of sliced Green Apples to nibble on, And her Cream of Tomato soup with cracked pepper and hot crusty bread was just outstanding. While she was still able to Carol was a great driver and often drove her many friends and visiting relatives all over Sydney to great Restaurants and scenic spots with a running commentary along the way. I remember many occassions when we'd go out to a Cafe with both Tilly and Divina in their harnesses, and we'd be sitting having a light meal or coffee and cake, and people would come up and say "oooh what adorable pussycats, and so well behaved". As we drove home and reached Ithaca road, Tilly would always stick his great furry head out of the drivers window and enjoy the breeze blowing in his face. And we always had to be back by 4.30 to catch "The Bold and The Beautiful". This year will be the first anniversary of the scattering of her ashes, in early August. I don't know how many people read the postings or visit this site, but if you're a friend of Darling Carol please turn up. I'm sure you can contact me via this site.

It only feels like yesterday We were holding hands and talking about Christmas Day and the huge Pavlova I was making for you Im so glad I decided to stay by your bedside that last sad day as we shared so much. We both cried because we were saying Goodbye without saying the words. I knew when I left I wouldnt see you again and sure enough an hour later I received the call to say you had gone. It was too fast my dearest friend and even now 17 months later I still pick the phone up to call you....I love and miss you so very much and that will never change. Your babies are happy and loved dearly by myself, Arnold and Maya. God Bless my darling girl and I will see you when its my time Denise

So sorry to hear of Carole's passing away. I have very found memories of Carole having had many trips together. Rest in peace Carole. JEAN

One year has passed and we've all moved on with our lives, but the emptiness is real, unlike her passing away which is still hard to come to terms with. Carol, you're sadly missed.

Just found out last night that our dear friend had passed away. Carol was and is a fantastic woman and friend. She was an intelligent, caring, loving individual. A true friend for over 30 years. We loved her inner beauty, her indomitable spirit and she will be remembered by us as a warrior queen who fought for her rights. She will always be in our hearts. She did not just differentiate us as gays, but simply as other members of the human race. She was physically very beautiful, extremely well groomed and extremely well mannered - a tribute to her parents. We love you - moe mai i te poho o te Runga Rawa, i roto i te awhi o te Kaihanga. Your dear friends Gary and Robert

You have always been there for me because you are my best friend and I was there for you until the very end But now its time to let you go your spirit is now free But you will never be gone Because you live on inside of me When I glance at the heavens I can see you sleeping the eternal sleep surrounded by pink roses Sleeping like a beautiful Angel with your beloved Tilly lying beside you I try not to cry my beautiful girl when I think of you Im comforted knowing you are watching over me

My dear Caroline. I am so grateful for the 20 years that I shared with you. No-one will ever fill your shoes. I am at peace knowing there is no more pain for you. I will miss your presence but you are with me in mind and heart every day of my life until we meet again, my dear sis. Love now and always, Maya

My name is Arnold. I was/still am a very close friend of darling Carol. She meant so much to a lot of people. Her sudden diagnosis of lung cancer came as a great shock to those around her, and her sudden passing away just 10 weeks later came as a double blow to those that love her. She meant to do so much in her final days but couldn't get around to it because she was overcome with her illness. I was with her on her final day here on earth, but sadly she passed away just a couple of hours after I left. She leaves behind 3 mourning families. The family she was born into, the family of friends she gathered around her during her life, and her beloved pussycat family. I will attempt to say a few words at her farewell. Rest in Peace my Darling, and say hello to Tilly for me.
