We spent a lot of time with Carol when she was young. Such a beautiful wee girl - Alf used to carry her on his shoulders and we would pretend she was our little girl before we had our own. She was the most beautiful bride when she and Kevin married and they had a wonderful life together. Of course we didn't see much of her after the move to Canada but caught up now and then. Our hearts go out to Kevin, Bevan and family and also to Tracey. We loved you Carol and will miss you.

Carol was my cousin, our mothers are sisters. four years my senior, I very much looked up to her and adored her. We spent a lot of time together in our youth and when I ran away from home as a teenager, I went to Carol who let me stay with her until I was ready to go home.She was so loving and had a way of making everyone feel so special. Even though we saw each other very infrequently after she and Kevin moved to Canada, the times we did have were wonderful and it was always as if we'd never been apart. Carol always wanted to know how all the children were doing and gave an open invitation for any of them to come and stay with her and Kevin.My Daughter Murphy took up that invitation last year and had the privilege to get to know Carol just before her illness took a lot away from her. Carol & Kevin treated her like a daughter and they really bonded. I'm so grateful for this, and only wish that all my children had more time with Carol.One time when Carol was home, we all stayed at her sister (my other special cousin) Tracey's place and Carol and I had to share a bed as the place is pretty small! We hadn't seen each other for years - and we stayed awake all night talking, about the past, present, future hopes and dreams and truly bared our souls to each other. I'll never forget that night and I'll never forget the time I got to spend with her last December and again in January when she was in hospital in Hastings. She was so lucky to have Kevin by her side and I was blown away by the depth of his devotion and care for Carol.I was finally planning the trip to Canada I had been promising for years when I learned that Carol was ill and this has been a great lesson to me that wherever possible - don't put off the things you really want to do as the only time we really have is now.I love you so much Carol, and even though we were physically so far apart, I feel a big hole left by your departing xxx

I don't remember knowing Carol growing up, but last year when I made the decision to move to Canada her and Kevin were so willing to take me in. I feel like I really got to know her over the time I was staying with them and I enjoyed very bit of it, especially all the laughing and hearing her stories about our family. Carol was an amazing woman and I am so grateful for the time I got to spend with her and everything she did for me, I will truly treasure those memories.

Andy Heyward - younger brotherWhen I was born my sisters and brother were all a bit older than me and were just getting the hang of teenage angst, so I dont have many memories of Carol when I was young. Most of the memories I have are from when she was in Waipawa and I was a small 10-11yr old. She lived up the road from my parents and I would sometimes stay the night at her place. I think she even took me to a party over the road which turned out to be a Mongrel Mob party - good times.I remember when she fell in love with Kevin and I went to stay with them on his farm just out of Waipukurau. I got to do cool boy stuff like chase squealing piglets, go duck shooting and watch The Young Ones on telly - good times.I remember them buying the property out of Waipawa and planning to build their house, but the first thing built I remember was a mai-mai on the dam then a shed - good times.I remember Carol working in health clinics in Hawkes Bay and being well regarded as a nurse and respected by the people who worked with her not only for her skills but her sense of humour, I was a young 20-something living my life but I still heard the stories - good times.I got busy with my own life and Carol and Kevin ended up in Canada and so I didnt see a lot of them in the years but the next best memory I have was at my 40th birthday and all three of my sisters were together for the party - good times.I never got to see Carol in her place in Canada (something I had wanted to do) but I am eternally grateful that I got to see and talk to her recently when she came to Lake Taupo for her birthday, the trip nearly didnt happen and she was easily tired, but it remains as a great memory for me - good times.Grief is a sacred space to be in, we are raw and we are rudely reminded of our own mortality. I want to thank Carol for all the good times that I recalled when writing these words, I want to thank her for her laughter. The memories are nuggets of gold that I hold tight in my fist and we live on through the memory of others. She reminds me to create good times.

I will never forget you Carol. Your smile and sense of humor got us through those shifts at the hospital. I had the confidence of working beside you, that I could handle anything that came through those doors. I will cherish our many talks about food and the late-night runs to McDonald's. One day I will visit your New Zealand that you loved so much. Deepest sympathy to Kevin, Bevan and family.

A photo from when my wife Diane and I visited NZ in early 1998. Carol with her mum Margaret, sister Tracey and Gary (Tracey's wonderful late husband). I have no doubt that you were taking the photo Kevin! We have many great memories and know that we'll have many many more laughs when our time eventually comes. Carol, you were always thoughtful, considerate, loving, smiling and making us all happy! We miss you so much already. To Kevin, Bevan and Tracey you are all in our thoughts. xxxx

I will so greatly miss my dear friend and our daily talks. There are so many great attributes that Carol and here are some as follows: she had a great sense of humor(she told me she loved comical situations as she liked to laugh), a caring heart as she loved to get to the heart of problems(the nitty gritty things), her love of the whole aspect of nursing, being organized(the chart queen), running the sexual assault program, she so loved to go to work and pick up shifts, as a co-worker said about Carol "now that is what you call a nurse, she know how to take charge of hospital and makes sure it is run right", her love of honesty(and if you were not she was quick to let you know, she cherished get togethers and outings with her fiends, looking on face book, keeping current with news events, her love of all animals, her caring heart as she was quick to help colleagues with whatever was needed, bring treats to co-workers, she was my side kick at work(as patient care coordinator)-my confident-debriefer and my sound board). Most she loved her family and New Zealand.
