My deepest condolences to all the family. Such a huge loss of someone not only beautiful on the outside but also so much on the inside as well. Carole we will so miss you and your fabulous spririt and wonderful sense of humor. You will be so missed😪💕
Dear Steve, Luke, Danny and family,
We send our deepest condolences to you as we mourn CJ’s passing with you. We met her in Vero Beach in 1999 as she took my “mum” under her wings for a bit while I went through a cancer siege and couldn’t visit as often from the north. CJ listened to the voice of her Lord and told my mom and dad that He wanted her to get to know them better! Carole was our angel of attentiveness for a bit and from then on we developed a friendship that my folks and we cherished. Her loving spirit and kindness knew no bounds and her kidding and laughter were a balm! We indeed will cherish our memories and try to pay her loving spirit forward. Our prayers continue for you! May God give comfort to you, Steve, and your family.
Will miss her just being there.
Rest in peace beautiful lady 😢xx
You are now with Jesus and our dear Dad and no more pain.You will be be missed but will go on living in our hearts and treasured memories. Will continue to pray for Steve, Dan and Luke and family.
Your love for good food, your love for VERY god wine…..actually any wine!
Your love for family, your love for friends….actually your love for ANYONE!
You opened your door, you opened your arms, you opened your heart
Anyone who has been blessed by your presence can’t help to be influenced by you in some way,
you will never leave us. You will live on in some way be it… Food, wine, Faith, Unconditional love or hospitality
I reflect on my childhood and the fond memories I have. Spending time with You, Uncle Steve, Cousin Luke and Cousin Danny, as the years fly by you were there again, Our Wedding, the loss of your nephew, my brother dear Nathan, and again to extend your love to your great Niece, Sophie & great Nephew, Benjamin I cant thank you enough. for always being there with your love & support and the laughs we shared
Auntie you may have been, but Second Mum & Friend you Were.
It feels so surreal, it just doesn’t feel right that time has run out , but God has his reasons of that we must trust, in return bringing us peace and comfort as we wait patiently living as you did until we are re-united again.
Your ever loving Claire, Shaun, Sophie & Benjamin
Love you <3
Fond memories of my friend Carole. I especially remember being with Steve, Carole and Danny on 9/11 when they lived in Florida. An unusual vacation but glad to be with them.
We were back in touch recently and am so saddened not to have been able to see her in the last few years. Will miss you special lady.
I send much love and prayers to her family and friends.
Sheree from Chichester, England. xx💜xx
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts are with you all at this very sad time.
I remember when we used to have meals together when Carole lived in Chichester. She was a good friend to me. Unfortunately we lost touch a bit at the end. Lots of love Jan Eley.
The one quality that will stay with me forever is Carole’s unjudging spirit, something I often ponder on. Be assured Steve of our continued prayers for you, Luke and Danny and we send very much love across the miles.
It will be 3 years next month since my sweet friend went to be with Jesus and I still miss her SO much. Her heart was pure and her attitude was always uplifting and very kind. I miss my lovely friend.
