Long long ago I met a woman who changed my life, and that of many friends and family, way back in the 1960's, when Carol and Tony lived in Cove. we became friends, they lived in the big old house at the bottom of Bridge Rd, which had been turned into a Vets with living accommodation above. In time Tony moved to Buckhurst Hill, and Carol became full time taking on Tony's roll. Once established in his new surgery, and when a vacancy arose Carol joined Tony, We missed her so much, having spent almost every evening with her, perhaps learning to swim, out and about or just playing cards. We visited very often. In a short time Sarah came along, and Brian and I married, Carol was our 1st daughters Godmother, both of us went on to produce children, which eventually cut down our visits to each other. The move to Muswell Hill and Crouch end surgery. where they settled, was a busy time, but we kept in touch by phone. Carol could talk me down when I was swinging from the ceiling, always full of practical advice, I loved her like a sister. All the knowledge and wonderful kindness has gone to her grave with her, it breaks my heart to know I will never see her again. I can only remember the amazing times we have had over the years. but still cry because when Carol died we all lost the most wonderful person, Rest in Peace my very dear friend, Love to you, Tony and all your wonderful family, Marion xx
