To an angel in our midst. What an incredibly brave and beautiful person you were Carolyn. While many of us knew she had been unwell, it was only yesterday at the memorial service that I began to grasp the depth of the medical challenges she had gone through and the strength with which she met them. The unwavering faith and courage shown by the entire family at yesterday's memorial was just so moving. What they shared about Carolyn’s life is a testimony that would have softened even the hardest of hearts in church yesterday and drawn them closer to give our Lord Jesus a try. Carolyn was, without a doubt, a blessing to many. With love and deepest respect, Matt Pereira

Dear Carolyn, We knew you for a season serving together. You left a deep impression as a gentle and kind soul who loved the people you served. Along the way we heard about how you were doing through Chris and Eunice. You were in our prayers and though far away, we were cheering you on and marvel at your quiet strength. We thank God for the privilege of getting to know you. See you again, Xiuling & Justin

She is Gone You can shed tears that she is gone or (and) you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her or you can be full of the love that you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she is gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. -D. Harkins, 1982

Carol, you will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

You were always soft spoken in The Straits Times newsroom. But there was a determination behind that soft demeanour, and I was privileged to witness that when you broke the big story on Yang Yin in 2014. You showed real tenacity as a reporter to not only get the story out, but also to stay on top of it for months and months after that. When people ask me which are my proudest moments in my short stint as News Editor in The Straits Times, I often highlight the Yang Yin story because it led to a nationwide effort to educate Singaporeans on the importance of Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA). Most of us had never heard of it until you came along with this earthquake of a scoop. Thanks to you, hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) of Singaporeans are now better able to take care of their own affairs, properties, and welfare. Thanks to you, many will be better prepared in their final moments. Thanks to you, scammers will find it harder to take advantage of others. Thank you for giving me a chance to be a part of this history-making piece of journalism. Whenever I saw a poster anywhere on a talk for LPA - and there are lots even till now! - it made me smile. I would wonder to myself how you were doing, and hope that your health had improved. Through a small network of former journalists in Straits Times, I would get occasional updates about you. We often say "gone too soon" when a person passes. But this cliche is absolutely accurate to describe your farewell. It is far too soon. Our troubled world could do with a lot more of you. But I hope you and your loved ones know that you had made a real difference and impact. Thank you Carolyn.

Dearest Carolyn, You were the first person I spoke to when visiting the cell group in Covenant EFC. You were the cgl then and welcomed me with the warmth of your heart and made me feel right at home. I will forever remember your faith and how you clung onto God so tightly in both good and tough times. Your life is such a powerful testimony of living out your faith, of kindness, of God’s deliverance and answered prayers time and time again. Truly, you have inspired so many of us. Even in your final days, as you fought your own battles, your heart remained steadfastly others-centered. In your audio message, you mentioned about my kids growing up so quickly and praying that God will continue to bless Joel’s and my parenting journey. In the midst of your own pain, you still cared so deeply for those around you. And that is who you are, always thinking of others before yourself. Joel shared with me recently that he dreamt of you, that you were with us during the last CG session on 15 March. And hearing that put a smile to my face, because you will always be a part of our fellowship. The conversations that we shared, the prayers we lifted up together, and the joy of having known you will remain in our hearts. We thank God for you, for the beautiful life you lived, and for the love you poured out so freely. Your kindness and love for Christ continues to inspire us to proclaim His goodness. Edward, yours and Carolyn’s faith have been a testimony to us all. Please know that we are always here for you and Hannah.

Rest in piece my dearest cousin Carolyn

Dear Carolyn, I have never met you in person before, only see you from pictures yet your life has touched me and many others! Truly you had fought the good fight, had finished the race well and had kept the faith! You had lived a full and abundance life, you were well loved and had loved well, too! Though you have gone ahead of us to be with the Lord, your spirit of love, courage, perseverance and resilience lives on in the hearts of many! Truly God is magnified & glorified through your well lived life!🙌 To all who love Carolyn, May the Lord comfort you and embrace you with His unfailing love.🙏 Ps 23:6, Jessica Lim

Beautiful Carol, You have shown so much courage and bravery. I’ve learnt from you - perseverance, selfless giving of yourself, and tenacity in your life’s journey. Well done good & faithful servant. You will be greatly missed!

Dearest Carol, You are one of the bravest women I know. I am so blessed to have been your friend. You walked this strange narrow path of hope and acceptance in a way that made my heart ache and exult. I will miss you forever, but in imitation of your example, I will sorrow with hope.

Dear Carolyn, Even though I didn’t get to know you personally, I’ve heard so many stories about you - from Chris and Eunice, and occasionally your parents. I’ve also benefited greatly from your generosity, like how you shared your brow threading package with us and passed on some clothes to us. When I read Romans 5:3-5, or sing a song of hope in church, I think about you and the life you have lived. Thank you for encouraging me as a Christian! To Edward, Hannah, uncle John, aunty Judy, Chris and Eunice, May the peace of God our Heavenly Father, And the grace of Christ, the risen Son And the fellowship of God, the Spirit Keep your hearts and minds within His love. Always praying for and thinking of you guys!

Dear Caro, I thank God that you have touched my life in so many ways, as a schoolmate, co-worker and close friend. Many people often grow jaded and more distant as they age, but for you, it was the other way around. You always brought so much kindness and positivity to our groups of friends, and you always had something polite and nice to say. Even when people (myself included) did you wrong, you bore it with patience and understanding. That immensity of heart has always defined you as a person, and I must say it is amazing to hear that even you were unwell recently, you still thought of others and made an effort to touch the lives of others around you in New Zealand. I will always think of and remember you, and all the happy days that we spent together - have uploaded this nice photo of you I took in springtime Seoul, May 2014 as a memory. Am praying for you, your family, Edward and Hannah, always. Rest in peace, Caro - it has been an honor to have you as my friend. Much love, JX

Dearest Carolyn, In my early years of joining CEFC, you were my prayer warrior, encourager, and someone whom I could always share with so easily. You were the first person I sought for relationship advice and the first to find out about Gid even before we got together. You were wise beyond your years and always so willing to lend a ear. Though you could not make it in person for our wedding as you had not been well enough, I was really touched to receive a beautiful handmade card from you despite it being so tough on you physically. You are the first person I know whom 'Gifts' is your top love language. And indeed, so many have felt your love in tangible ways! You are God's gift to all of us! You truly embodied what meekness is to the very end - and that is strength under control. My heart aches and I will miss you so so dearly. But your life of faith, courage, strength, perseverance, kindness and gentleness has inspired and impacted us deeply and we will continue to tell of your story of how you lived and loved Jesus for many years to come. Much love, Kim

亲爱的表妹， 语言无法表达我对你的思念。直到你离去的消息，小时候的画面不断的涌进。 记得以前我们小时候，我们经常玩Barbie doll，玩家家酒，一起睡觉时还一起聊天到深夜。每次舅母进来查看我们睡了没，我们就一起假装扮睡。好天真无邪的以前！ 从小你就是一个美丽，善良，温柔，坚强的女孩。亲爱的，我会永远想念你。 二表姐

Dear Carolyn, I still remember all our times together, all throughout JC to journeying through many of life’s milestones. You have always been so kind, graceful, unafraid to love, and always saw the positive in everyone. You have always been nothing but supportive of everything that I do and genuinely cheering me on. Thank you so much for being such a steady rock in my life. I am glad to know that you are no longer in pain. I will always remember and love you ❤️

Dear John, Judy and family Our hearts were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Carolyn. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Praying for the Lord's peace, rest and comfort upon you all during this difficult time. With our deepest condolences, love and prayers, Glen & Bim

Dearest Khew family, Our hearts are broken but filled with Gods light. Our deepest condolences to you all. We are sending you lots of love and hugs.

My dearest Carolyn, I am heartbroken to hear of your passing and have been at a loss for what to say. My earliest memory of you was in our early teenage days, hanging out while our parents had cell group. Thank you for being such a dear friend to me all these years, even though we regretfully lost touch in recent years. Thank you for being my companion, my confidante, my cheerleader, … and even the friendly face who walked across the crowded foyer to greet me that one time I returned to church years later. Thank you for being a light in my life and for blessing me with your love and friendship. I am so proud of you and the life you have led; courageous and fiercely loving till the very end. Till we meet again. Rest in peace, my dearest friend. ❤️ Aunty Judy, Uncle John, and Chris, I am deeply moved by the love you have shared with Carolyn, your courage and strength, and by your steadfast trust and faith in our Lord God all these years. May our good Lord bless you, comfort you, and give you peace in your time of grief. Love, Eunice

Dearest Carol, thank you for being a wonderful friend and colleague. You have been a real pillar of strength and an inspiration to all around you. You are gone too soon, but in the time you had, I'm grateful that our paths have crossed and that we have continued to keep in touch. I miss you dearly and you will always be in my heart. Rest well

Dearest Carolyn, Thank you for being both a mentor and a sister through so many seasons of my life—rejoicing with me in times of joy and praying fervently for me in times of struggle. You have shown me what it means to love fiercely yet gently, and you've taught me what steadfast joy and faith can truly look like. I remember when my grandmother passed, and as I shared a glimpse of her life with you, you told me how much of a role model she must have been for me and how I would one day see her again in Heaven. Today, I want to say the same to you: Thank you for being such a huge role model in my life, and I look forward to introducing you to my grandmother when we all meet again. We love you, and we will forever cherish the love you’ve given us.

Through witnessing your journey, you have taught me so much about Faith, Love and Trust in our Father. Thank you for being the beacon of all your loved ones. You will remain in our hearts forever. We love you, Carol.

Dear Carolyn, Thank you for your friendship since our days in youth, and our partnership as we led CG together for a time. I look back fondly at those times. You've fought through tough times, and lived a life which glorifies God greatly. You're an inspiration to all of us. See you again soon!

Dear Judy, I do not know Carol. Reading the tributes I can see that she had impacted many lives. Thank God for her life. In her words, shared by the brother, “imperfect yet beautiful”. It is indeed painful to let her go. May the love and comfort of the Lord be with you. Love, Peck Hwa

Dearest John, Judy, Edward, Chris, and Hannah, We are keeping you and your family in our prayers as you celebrate Carolyn’s life. Carol was truly a blessing, and her sweet and gentle spirit, radiant smile, and unwavering faith left a lasting impact on all who knew her. May God’s peace and comfort surround you in this time, and may you find strength in His promises. We are standing with you in faith, trusting that Carolyn is now in His perfect embrace.

Dear Carolyn Indeed, you have modelled for us, from how faithfully and fully you have lived your life, what it looks like to fight the good fight, to finish the race, to keep the faith! Wear that crown of righteousness that our Lord has prepared for you, in that magnificent eternity where there is no more pain, no more suffering, no more illness, no more tears. Bask with pride and joy in the glorious presence of our beloved King! We miss you. Dear Edward & Hannah, John & Judy We're remembering you in prayer and upholding you in spirit, grieving with you in this time of profound loss, and giving thanks to God with you for Carolyn's beautiful life. May God's abiding presence with you bring comfort and peace. May Christ, our Blessed Hope, give you every reassurance of our very much-anticipated reunion with Carolyn, in His good time.

Carolyn, you are dearly loved and missed. 💖

Dear Carolyn, Thank you for your kindness, generosity and friendship over the years. You are truly one of the kindest, sweetest, most beautiful souls I’ve met. In recent years, in spite of everything, you have also shown yourself to be strong, courageous and faithful through it all. The world around shines a lot brighter because of you, the love you’ve given, and your kindest heart. I will miss you, and long for the day we meet again. To Carolyn’s family, my deepest condolences during this time and I pray for the Lord’s presence to comfort and embrace you during this time of grief and remembrance. It was a privilege to know Carolyn, and I will never forget the kindness & warmth she has shown me.

Dear Carolyn, you are deeply missed. Thank you for the years of friendship - it's been a privilege to have witnessed your faith and love over these years. Even though our hearts grieve and ache that you are not with us, we are comforted you are with our heavenly Father. I will remember you dearly 🩷

Dear Carolyn, Rest in peace, you will be missed by everyone. How you lived your best life bravely in your final months on this earth has been inspiring.

Dearest John and Judy, Carolyn was a beautiful and brave soul, wife and mother whom the Lord has called home to be close to Him. She now lies in His loving arms finally at rest and free from any pain, watching over those she love and precious little Hannah. May the good Lord grant you peace and strength in Him as you cope with the absence of a very dear daughter. She is gone but momentarily till we all meet in heaven one day. Deepest condolences to the both of you and all family members. Love and hugs, Joanne and parents Yew Jin and Julia

Hello Caro, Love you! I'm so glad we had the extra time. You've always been and always will be this great burst of sunshine. Thank you for demonstrating what it means to love God and to trust in His providence, in every situation you and Edward have remained steadfast in your trust in God. Here's to forever - I can't wait to see you again.

Carolyn, It is my privilege to be part of your journey and I am greatly encouraged by your faith and your fight. Rest in peace and enjoy the glory of our Lord. Celine

Dear Judy, My heart aches for you in this time of deep loss. I can only imagine the pain of losing Carol, and I pray that you find comfort and strength in the love of those around you. May her memory remain a light in your heart, and may God’s peace hold you close. Please know that I am keeping you and family in my thoughts and prayers. Stacy

Carolyn, you are a shining star that burned brightly, left an indelible mark on the hearts of everyone you touched. Your sparkling smile and compassionate spirit inspired us. With a heart full of love and a soul full of kindness, your presence made the world a brighter, warmer, and more beautiful place. Your generosity, empathy, and especially your unwavering optimism inspired us all to be better versions of ourselves. Though your time with us was far too brief, ypur legacy will live on through the countless lives ypu touched, the laughter you shared, and the love you spread. Rest in peace, dear Carolyn. Your memory will be a blessing to all who knew you.

Dear Carolyn, You’re one of the kindest and most compassionate people I’ve met, and in the past few years I’ve learnt also one of the bravest. It’s been a great gift to be your friend. I will always remember you and cherish our memories in uni together. I’m glad you are no longer suffering. Rest in peace. Deepest condolences to Edward, Hannah and Carolyn’s parents. Carolyn lives on in our hearts.

Dear Carolyn, Thank you for being such a light in our lives. Your kindness, generosity and gentleness have been a blessing to us :) We have seen such great strength from you the past years, especially how you faithfully hold on to God and His promises and goodness. Even though we're deeply saddened by your passing, we look forward to the day where we will celebrate and reunite with you in Heaven 🩷 Edward, your strength, faith and joy have been very inspiring for us all to witness. May God continue to be your refuge and strength. We love you all!

May you rest in peace

Dear Carolyn, You passed way too soon but you have made a difference in the lives of everyone you met. You will forever be remembered as a beautiful, kind, and courageous soul. You fought for so long, I'm glad you are in a better place now and you are not suffering anymore. Rest in peace.

Dear John and Judy My heart goes out to you in the time of deep sorrow. Losing Carolyn is an unimaginable loss, and words can never truly capture the pain of saying goodbye to someone so dear. Carolyn was a beautiful soul kind, loving and full of life. Her presence brought warmth and Joy to those around her, and she leaves behind a legacy of love and Cherished memories. Though she is no longer here, her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. May you find comfort in the love of family and friends, in the precious memories you shared, and in knowing that Carolyn’s light will never fade. My thoughts and prayers are with both as you navigate this difficult time. Our deepest sympathy and love, Eric Pong

Dear Carolyn, You were a dear friend to us, and we will always cherish the many memories we shared in JC those many years ago. You will be deeply missed, but your kindness and warmth will remain in our hearts. May you be at peace in the comfort of our Creator. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." - Psalm 23:4

Dear Wai Peng, Kheng Sin and Edward, Our deepest condolences to all of you and family on the loss of Carolyn. She will be missed greatly but is now in the heavenly arms of our Lord without pain but only joy and happiness. She will be your guardian angel especially to Edward and Hannah. Hugs and love Ron n Jess

Dear Carolyn, When I was a little girl, I used to get welcomed to JD by this auntie who would give me my name badge and welcomed me warmly into the room. Years later, after you had become our Zone Mentor for at least a year, I saw that same auntie at your wedding. It was your Mum. At that point, I realised how there were really no coincidences with God. God really plants every single person in our lives. Carolyn, you have touched so many people through your interactions with them and through your story. You were always so elegant, demure, and gentle in spirit. You mentored us rowdy youths through the years when we were still finding ourselves, and saw us through our JC, NS, uni, even till some of us got married. Thank you for your years of guidance and non judgement, leading us in the Word and sharing our struggles with us. In us, whose lives you've touched, changed and shown God's love to, you'll always be remembered.

Dear Carolyn, I still remember the first time I met you at the BPJ benches when you became our zone mentor, you were wearing orange and had a big smile on your face. Over those few years, you always made time for us and shared your life openly with us. I will always remember and admire your love for others, faithfulness, bravery and quiet strength especially in these last few years. Till we meet again! Love, Kesajil

Dear Carolyn, What a privilege it was to know you. Your warmth, kindness, and that unforgettable smile will remain etched in our hearts. Even as we grieve, we find comfort in the eternal promise of John 16:22: “So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.” Carolyn, you will be dearly missed, but this parting is not forever. Matt ST

Dear Carolyn, I remember how we were all so excited when we found out Edward was FINALLY “seeing a girl” and we were all so delighted when you both tied the knot. You brought out the best in him with your gentle manner and devotion to God. You had a smile for everyone and made Ed so happy. You have been a loving mother to Hannah, whom you loved even before you conceived her. Beneath your demure exterior is a woman of great faith. You always trusted God to see you through and we know that you are very, very special to Him. Though we miss you, we thank God for your life and legacy. We will miss you very much and the little touches that warmed our hearts, from writing cards on special occasions and sending durians or cakes!. You will continue to live on in our hearts and through Hannah who has amongst other things, inherited your sweet dimples :) Rest in His loving arms and we will always remember and love you.

My dearest sister, Judy and family. So sorry to hear this sad news about our sweet girl, Carol. My heart is with you and family during this time. I can only imagine how painful it must be, but I hope you find comfort in the love around you and the beautiful memories of Carol. She is with Jesus now, no more pain, only peace and love 🙏🏻❤️ She will always be in your hearts, watching over you. May God give you strength and comfort. Please take care of yourself, and if you need anything, let me know. Thinking of you all. God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Jane & James Loy

My heartfelt condolences to the family of Carolyn. I am reminded of the time I was at one of my lowest, I had a sudden surgery years back and Carolyn, being my CG mentor at the time, was with me throughout that experience, she knew how alone and scared I felt and decided to accompany me for many of my appointments leading to the surgery. She has always been such an inspiration to a clueless 20+ year old going into adulthood. She also took time to be my personal mentor through my healing journey and was an exemplary disciple of Jesus, always bringing hope and love with no judgment to us. Carolyn, you will be dearly missed. I hope you were at peace when you left us, it was too soon and sudden. Thank you for being in my life during such a pivotal point and I wish you everlasting happiness with the Lord.

Dear Edward and Family, We grieve with you in the temporary parting of Carolyn, yet we hold fast to the promises of God—His enduring love, comforting presence, and hope of eternal reunion. Revelation 21:4 reminds us: "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." May this truth bring solace to your hearts as you navigate this time of loss. Carolyn’s life was a gift that will forever shine in your memories and in the legacy she leaves behind. With love and prayers, Aunt Lily and Uncle Martin

Our deepest condolences to you, John, Judy, Edward and Hannah, on the sad passing of Carolyn. She has left a legacy to be proud of. We pray for God's strength and comfort to be upon all of you at this time. May we "fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2) until we are all reunited in Christ on that glorious Day.

Dear Carolyn: I recall you were a tenacious teenager who wanted to participate in every WEB camp activity! You sure did live life with the “never give up” attitude! You never gave up on the Lord because He never gave up on you. I still remember you in the orange “Catch” t-shirt on Youth Sunday, responding to the call to make a difference, catching the fire of God, and to be a living testimony! And you did! I remember you in your Fish Bone café apron enthusiastically serving the crowd. I recollect you quietly sitting on the Grace Sanctuary floor beside your WEB friend who was crying, and you were consoling and ministering to her at such a young age. You possessed kindness, empathy and maturity. I saw the love of God in you throughout your teenage years into your adulthood. I saw your resilience and determination despite the adversities you faced! Well done Carolyn – you fought the good fight of faith! Thank you for inspiring us to live! You will be missed. To John, Judy, Chris, Edward and Hannah. Our deepest and most heartfelt condolences. We pray for the Lord’s enduring presence and loving comfort to embrace you during this time of remembrance and grief. Love, Matt, Rebecca and Chris Lo

My darling Carol, it has been my joy and privilege to watch you grow through the years! From a bright young girl to a graceful lady, a devoted wife, and a loving mother - through every season of your life, you stood strong, with unwavering faith and a heart full of love. You were, above all, a fighter who never gave up, meeting every challenge with courage and grace. You have truly lived the life of a FOTS; a Faithful One, a Teachable Soul. Your gentle spirit, kindness, and resilience have touched the hearts of so many, leaving behind a legacy of love and inspiration. Heaven just gained an angel. Though we miss you dearly, we take comfort in knowing you are now in the presence of our Heavenly Father, surrounded by eternal peace and love. Till we meet again in Heaven. Sending loads of hugs and love to Aunty Judy, Uncle John, Chris, Edward, and Hannah. May you find comfort in God’s love and grace during this difficult time.

Dear Caro, my heart hurts for what you have gone through. Goodnight. We will miss you.

Dear Carolyn, We did not spend many moments together but I have still been blessed by your life and warmth. Truly. May our Father in heaven continue to keep you safe and bless you with eternal joy up above. Bless also Edward and little Hannah in their remaining time on earth, till they meet you again up in Heaven ❤️ Rest in peace with our Lord ❤️ God be with you, Carolyn 🙏🏼❤️

Dear Carol, what a blessing it was to get to know you. And from many of our colleagues at ST, the journey of being a mom is challenging even without health issues, but for you and your family, the journey must have been a special one, one which I so much respect and admire. Thank you for being a role model to us and shining bright as our colleague in ST. Rest well, kash

Dear Carol - May you rest in peace. You fought a brave fight and your light will continue to shine on in your daughter, Hannah. In the twinkle of her eyes and in her laughter & smiles. But now is your time to rest by God's side and watch over your loved ones. Rest now dear one. Love, Aunty Karen

Dearest Edward Words cannot express our deepest regret for your loss of Carolyn. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy. We know Carolyn is safe with our Heavenly Father and watching over you and Hannah constantly. May you find comfort in the sweet memories of Carolyn . In His Love, uncle Daniel and aunty June and rest of Cho family.

My dearest Caro, my heart breaks each time I replay our messages to each other - when you were in discomfort but you cared so much about my family and asked after them despite what you were going through. And this really encapsulates who you are - selfless, loving, kind. Words fail me when I think about what you had gone through, but you never wavered in faith, you fought on bravely, took everything in your stride, and continued to soldier on for God. I will never forget the times we spent together in the newsroom - the many dinners and suppers we had because of all our late nights together, and even as we moved on from journalism, we stayed as close friends witnessing each other’s life milestones. I will always remember your radiant smile, and I’m so grateful for our friendship. Grief is the price we pay for love, we grieve deeply as we love you so much, but we take heart that we will see you again, and that you are free from earthly pain. We will catch up when we meet again. In the meantime, we will look out for Edward, Hannah, Auntie Judy & your family. ❤️ I miss you so much already.

Dear Caro, I will always remember our time together as the environment girls in ST with SamBoh. Of us three, you were always the voice of calmness, of reason, and of niceness. You always saw the best in everything and everyone! And i always admired that about you.. I remember how your eyes sparkled when you talked about your stories on butterflies, or your quiet dedication in chasing down and breaking the Yang Yin stories. Another time I saw your eyes twinkle was when you were telling me about meeting Edward, and about the picnic he organised for you to propose. We haven’t spoken much since you left ST, save for that one occasion in 2021/2022 after COVID-19. But Caro, you are God’s child, and I’m sure the angels in heaven are celebrating your return. My deepest condolences to Edward, to Hannah, and to Caro’s parents — im sorry for your loss, and i will pray for the Lord to comfort you in your time of grief.

Carolyn was a thoughtful, sweet and calm presence in our lives. Your resilience in adversity, strength to live out life to the fullest, and unwavering faith inspires all of us. Thank you for bringing so much joy and love to Edward, Hannah and our family. We miss and love you very much and will always remember you. You have fought the good fight, may you be free from suffering and pain and in the loving arms of our Lord Jesus. Love, Chris & Clara

Dearest Judy, My deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved daughter Carolyn. May our good Lord's love and strength comfort and keep you at this very difficult time. Take care ... hugs hugs from Singapore.

In Loving Memory of A special Niece. To have you as my niece was the greatest gift in life, Heaven is a beautiful place and so lucky to have you, Rest in perfect peace, Carolyn

Carol表姐， 在我印象中 我不曾见过你， 但今日我却看见我小时候与你合照过的相片。感慨和遗憾并肩而来，可因耶稣在你身边，得着喜乐以及永生。

My deepest condolences. Carolyn was a beautiful soul, and I will always remember the first time I met her in NZ when she was six months old. She was such a lovable and inquisitive baby. Journeying and witnessing her faithness in sickness and significant milestones had been such a privilege. May Edward, Hannah, Judy, John and all find comfort in the love and memories you shared. Rest in peace, Carolyn.

Dear John and Judy, Deepest condolences to the family. May you have the strength and courage in the times ahead. RIP Carolyn you are in gods hands and looking down on us ❤️ Sending all the love Louie Family

Carolyn’s gentle spirit and loving nature made her such an excellent ZM to the young adults in her district. She was always in prayer for them, available and supportive. Personally, I admired Carolyn for her grace and strength in the face of difficulties over the last few years. May God, the prayers/thoughts/presence of friends and family comfort you at this time. Those available, will be gathering tomorrow to watch the livestream. We hold you in prayer.

Dear Carol, Of all the blessings in my life, having you as my cousin is one I’ll always cherish. I will never forget the kind and loving big sister who played with me when I was little. Your warm smiles, gentle spirit, and the love you shared will remain in my heart forever. I’m so grateful for the memories we made, and though you’re no longer here, you are deeply missed and lovingly remembered. While we feel the sorrow of losing you, we take comfort in knowing that you are now in God’s loving arms, at peace and surrounded by His eternal love. My heart goes out to Aunty Judy, Uncle John, Chris, your husband Edward, and your sweet daughter Hannah. We will be keeping them in our prayers, asking for strength, comfort, and peace in the days ahead. Goodbye for now, dear Carol. Though we are apart, I know that we will meet again one day in Heaven. Rest peacefully, with all our love. Angel & Family

The departure of a beloved is always painful and sad. But knowing well that she will be in the presence of Jesus is assuring and comforting. My deepest condolences to John and family for the departure of your beloved daughter whom is also a wife and mother. Rhys Wong 18 March 2025

Caro had a heart so big, she had space for everyone. I am so very thankful for the many lunches and gatherings we had. She’d always make time to listen and would laugh along with us as we joked and lamented about newsroom life. She was confident, elegant, and incredibly kind and gentle with a zest for life. At work she plowed away, bringing life to the environment beat, and outside of that, broke a story exposing injustice that brought light to policy gaps. Her hard work and late nights helped right wrongs and prevent harm from befalling more vulnerable individuals. But really, it was her quiet bravery and faith these past few years that have made such a vast impact on many lives. Her desire and will to push on in the face of great, daily difficulties, spoke volumes about her faith, values and love for Hannah, Ed and her family. We are all deeply grieved by Caro’s suffering but we are rejoicing with her that the worst of her earthly pains are over. She’s in our Good Lord’s warm embrace. There’s no better place to be. We love you, Caro, and will do our best to honour your spirit of gentle boldness and faith in our own lives. Always remembering, always missing, and always loving you ❤️. Your incredible light continues to shine brightly. Love you ❤️.

Dear Carolyn 你的一生虽然短暂，却灿烂如星。你善良、坚强，带给身边的人无数温暖。你的离去，是我们无法填补的痛。但我相信，你只是换了一个没有痛苦的世界继续微笑。 愿你在那边安好，不再有病痛，不再有忧愁。我们对你的思念，永不止息。 永远怀念你。

A Tribute to a Beautiful Soul There are no words to ease the pain of losing someone so precious, so full of life, and taken too soon. Carol was a light in this world—a soul that radiated love, joy, and kindness. She touched the hearts of everyone who knew her, leaving behind memories that would be cherished forever. Though her time with us was far too short, the love she shared and the happiness she brought will never fade. Her laughter, her dreams, and her beautiful spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew her best. To Judy and your family, please know that you are not alone in your grief. We mourn with you, and we hold you close in our hearts and prayers. May you find comfort in the love that surrounds you and in the beautiful memories of Carol. Rest in peace, Carol. You will always be loved and never forgotten. Love ❤️ you always Auntie Lisa

When I think of you, I always remember that gentle smile and cool posture. You have left a lasting impression in many hearts as a gentle yet strong leader, caring yet firm, and sacrificial with your time and love for others. You have demonstrated so much courage in your motherhood journey as well. Thank you.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our dear Carolyn. As we reflect on her life, our hearts are drawn back to those fond memories when Carolyn, her brother Chris, and their beloved mum Judy would come to Brunei to visit during the time their dad, John, was working here. Those moments were always filled with laughter, warmth, and the kind of joyful family connection that leaves a lasting mark on the hearts of those around them. Carolyn’s gentle spirit and kind smile are remembered fondly, and her presence will be deeply missed. As she now enters eternal rest, we pray she finds peace and joy in the presence of her Heavenly Father. May her soul be embraced in perfect love, and may she dwell forever in God’s glorious light. To John and Judy, to her husband, and to Chris—our hearts go out to you during this time of loss. May you find comfort in the love that surrounds you and strength in the beautiful memories shared with Carolyn. With all our love and deepest condolences, Uncle Peter, Aunt Josephine, Rachel, Joshua & David Chin Brunei

Rest in the arms of Jesus dear Carolyn. Sending our love to Edward, Hannah, John, Judy and family. Psalms 27:4 4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

Dear Caro, Since we met 20 years ago, we have been firm friends. Even though Kel and I moved to NZ, we still kept in touch on whatsapp & IG. Ed and you even visited us in our first home here!:) What fun times we had trying to tape up your box of kmart stuff. Your gentle and kind spirit will be something i (Nic) miss the most. You were such a calm and gracious person whose quiet presence lighted up the room. We wish we had the chance to say goodbye, but we take comfort in knowing that you are safe in God’s arms, free from any pain and suffering here. Till we meet again in heaven, when our time on earth is done. We will always remember and miss you greatly. We love you, Caro!

Rest in peace Carolyn Khew, I will always keep you in my heart,

Dear Carol, Though I never had the chance to know you personally, I feel as though I do through your mother, Judy. She speaks of you with such love, such pride, and such warmth that your presence feels tangible even now. It is clear that you were a light in the lives of those around you—kind, caring, and deeply cherished. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. You have left an imprint on the hearts of those who knew you, and that love will carry on forever. Rest peacefully, Carol. You are held in love, always. Love Kirthana

We'll miss you dearly, Carolyn, but we take comfort in knowing you're now at peace, free from pain and suffering. Your legacy will continue to inspire us to live with love, kindness, and purpose.
