Saturday 6th February

On this day four years ago I was told the devastating news that I probably had Cancer.

On Thursday morning whilst I was at the airport waiting for a flight to the London, I took a phone call from Chris, Caroline's husband. He told me that Caroline had passed away at about 9pm, peacefully in her sleep. Just a few hours before that the Rising Voices choir (myself included) had been thinking of her, and singing a few of our favourite songs.

She was an amazingly upbeat, positive and truly inspirational person.

I encouraged her to join me at the Macmillan coffee mornings, and through that she , and a few other ladies formed our support group, with a helping hand from Macmillan. We all loved her enthusiasm, ideas and wit.

 We played tennis at our club, and at friends houses, we entered tennis tournaments together, called ourselves the "Chemo Team"...

Caroline setup Rising Voices choir for all those people that had been touched by Cancer in some way, holding weekly practices in the Church, including people like myself who 'can't sing'. (She said everybody can sing)!

I, like a lot of people will miss her, and my deepest  heartfelt condolences go out to her husband and family.

• Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more that a thought apart. For as long there is a memory, they’ll live on in our hearts. - Author Unknown

RIP Caroline x
