Our deep sympathy goes out to our friends Bea and Peter and the rest of the family in this time of loss. We had only met Caroline a few times, but as friends of Bea and Peter we have heard stories of their family for over 20 years now. The stories used to be filled with laughter - over the past three years they were filled with hope, questions, fear, grief but always over riding all of that, love. The devotion of Bea and Peter and Gillian and Bruce in their support of Caroline and the boys through the heart breaking and difficult years of her illness are a testament to love, a testament family and a daily act of bravery as together they faced and handled the unwanted difficulties and challenges that came along with the cruel progression of Caroline's illness. Blake and Logan, your grandparents have told us many stories of your mother's devotion to you both, of the joy you two brought into her life and of the depth of her love for you. Later, when you are older, you will hear stories about mountain climbers and athletes and strong determined people of all sorts. In her fight to be with you boys, your dear mom climbed Mount Everest over and over again. She was brave and strong and determined and her love for you two was her strength. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. With love, Susan and Rich Barnett
