Tributes

Thank you so much for giving me such a joyous life with you. You will be in my heart forever. You'll be with me wherever I go. One day I will join you again. Sleep now my precious. I love you Pussy. I love you Mum.

Christopher

Carolyn it was a surprise to me that you were moving on, not only because you were, for years, a member of the Auckland Branch of the New Zealand Founders' Society, but also because, distantly, we were related. I hope my Johnston side of the family take notice. You were the one to bring the different sides together. Condolences to your family especially to Christopher who now has to navigate life without his captain.
