Goodbye for now my dearest Carole.

You carried the fire, you were a colourful light in the lives of all who knew you. You weren’t very tall but you were a tower of strength. You were a beacon who inspired us and showed the way and a rock who kept us from sinking.

A plucky adventurer and an endurance ace, you were the epitome of elegance and style. Beautiful, generous, loving, thoughtful and kind. You were funny and mischievous too and a wonderful Godmother to Francesca.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Dom, Matteo and your family.

We are so lucky to have been close to you and are grateful for the times we had. We will cherish the memories and carry you in our hearts forever.

Until we dance on the tables again, keep shining my beautiful and beloved friend. You are brighter than ever now.

– With all our love, Titia, Francesca and Dominic XXX.
