Dara, my daughter-in-law sent me photos she had taken of Carol, singling out this one as her favourite. I like it too. It catches the smile and joy as she was with family. I posted it on Facebook yesterday which issued immediately in an overwhelming (in the best sense) torrent of sympathy with friends' memories. So far, over a hundred friends from our varied past have surprised me by their specific memories of her in action and their love for Carol. What an extraordinary comfort it is to learn how others have been genuinely touched in meaningful ways by your loved one Likewise, I so value each of the comments made by some of you on this blog. I would love to be able to reply to everyone - please forgive me but the word 'overwhelming' is true in these first days and appropriate answers are some way off! Thank you so much for your prayers.

Bless you Michael. Lots of us at St A's are very sad because of the impact she had in your time here. Praying for you and trusting in God's peace and presence for you at this time. Lots of love. Simon
Dear Michael, I was so sorry to hear of Carole’s death. As many have expressed you and Carole made such an impact in in numerous ways both at Spurgeons and beyond; always with warmth, love and kindness.
Praying for you and family and friends at this time of loss.
Michael
So sorry to hear of Carols passing to greater things. May you know the blessings of those who mourn.
Remembering with fondness my time in Cambridge.
