So sorry to hear of your loss Carol called me when she got her diagnosis and she was at peace with it and very brave. She was so loving to my daughter Layla and never missed giving her a gift at Christmas or on her birthday. Living just up the street on D'arcy i can't count how many times i had to go get Layla because she had stopped at Carols on her way home from Gummow. There she was helping in the greenhouse or feeding the squirrels with Carol. A great lady Layla and i will really miss her. R.I.P.
