This is Craig posting on behalf of my beautiful wife Carol, who we lost at 11am yesterday (5 Oct 2024). The most selfless, caring and thoughtful person - the kids and I could not have wished for more. Carol and I met by chance and the path was set. Two people, so different, but who worked together. Carol was my everything and I adored her. The photo is from a day in Crail, Scotland before we were married. I knew we needed to be together for as long as we could as I was the luckiest person just to be with Carol. I was better for just being in her company. Sometimes saying you love someone just doesn't cut it. I'd like to thank everyone for your friendship, your calls and making time for catch-ups. It's truly appreciated and Carol loved being friends with you all. Thank you.
And music. The kids bought Carol and I Runrig tickets and we bought flights to see them in Stirling. Carol loved it and she loved this song. So for Carol, let's do it: Runrig - Loch Lomond (Year of the Flood).

Mum. Words can't begin to describe what you mean to me. I can't find any in the dictionary to properly express just how kind, loving and selfless you were. I think this photo helps explain it that even after a terrible and hard labour, you were just happy to hold me. To be a Mum.
You were everything to me; a mother, a best friend, someone I could tell anything without judgement. You were the reason I tortured myself with Volkswagens. Rest easy Mum. Fights over. You're already back home.
Kirsten Grant
Yesterday morning I lost my best friend, my beautiful mum. To me, she was my world but she was so much more to the world. She was an amazing mum to my brother Connor, a loving wife of 32 years to my dad, she was a daughter, a sister, an Auntie, a cousin, and a wonderful friend to so many. She will forever be so loved.
In a way there is almost a selfishness that walks alongside grief, thinking you didn't get enough time and it's true, 27 years doesn't feel like enough. However, in those 27 years I got to experience the best form of true unconditional love, it was filled with listening to her favourite songs (80s pop), hearing stories of her home before us in Scotland, her making the best trifle at Christmas, teaching me it's OK not to have the last word in every argument, seeing her smile light up a room, hearing her laughter, experiencing her kindness, and seeing her show fierce resilience in the toughest of battles. She was the best mum, and the best person in the world. I hope I am at least half the person she was. We all know how lucky we were to exist in her world and I'm forever grateful that I was picked to be her daughter.
I don't think I'll ever have the words to some up how this feels, or explain what mum means to me but I do have these words for her. So mum, thank you for everything, I love you, I miss you and I promise I'll be looking for you in every lifetime.

I've been checking Facebook more regularly lately for your posts, but yesterday you didn't listen to music and you didn't get your afternoon tea. We lost you yesterday, it feels too soon, we had plans and memories to make one last time.
I was so proud to be your little sister. You taught me everything and were always there to listen to me whinge. You had talents I could never match and I always wanted to be just like you. You were the best sister-in-law to Graham, and Aunty to Beth, Mac and Charlie.
I've got it from here, I'll look after Mum and Dad, Craig, Kirsten and Connor. Love you always Carol, the best big sis a lil sis could have.
