Carol Ann Carter (Nee Dunkley)

I have decided to set up this web page in order to help my family and I, including any of Carol's friend to leave a message or light a candle to pay tribute to carol's life and to share some of the memories that we all have of one of the most unique and most genuine of people that I will definitely ever come to know. As Carol had this ability, whether you met her for one second, two minuites, ten minuites, six years (like myself) or a lifetime like her family, she remained with you. Carol would constantly be remembered or thought about or commented on or remained in person, within your life. The is a truly unique way and a true gift, not learnt and never able to be, just naturally present and in Carol there was no mistaking of this ability. It amazes me and makes me realise what people mean when they say 'they broke the mould when they made you' because Carol was in a league of her own and as I say a one of, and I am so pleased that she became a part of my life and that I became a part of her's. We always used to say that we were the sister that the other never had and would wish for. This is why it is so hard to live each day without hearing her or seeing her, and realizing I will never hear the words ' What you doing, fancy a coffee lve'. Carol you were the only one I have ever heard call my husband Freddy just to get to him.

Carol left our lifes but never our hearts on 18th July 2005 at the age of 49. No one could of or would ever of wanted to predict the way Carol left us. She went on holiday for a break after having such a lot of unsettlement in her life, and suffered a heart attack the day before she was due home. There she was in spain in her appartment to far for us to go to her, the one time any of us could of remotely of repaid her back for what she had done for us in our life time and we couldn't be there. No words can describe the mixed emotions as a family that we felt, then as well as now. There is no other way of putting it than life is cruel at times and callous with its happenings that effect so many.Life has no meaning from time to time, and it definately likes to remind us of how unpredictable life can be. Carol had so much more that she wanted to do, so much more to give, plans that she had in place for her future and none of it possible. This was the type of news that you hear other people having to cope with, now it was us. We still had so much more to say and do and now we carn't. But there is no room for what if's only room for the love that we had for you and always will.

At the time of Carol's death she was working within retail, and just adding to the list of lifes she would become to have this amazing connection with and influence upon.Coventry definately wont be the same again just as Bedworth isnt from the time you spent living there. The clothes shop still talks about you when I go in, including this Christmas when I went in, they were remarking on how their sales had dropped, not sure what they mean about that Carol do you?

Carol was one of six children, she had three brothers and two sisters. Carol went on to have two children of her own and became grand-parent to two grand children. Carol doted on all of them, they were her life in some ways. Carol was great with children though and enjoyed going out for the day with children in toe.If she wasnt doing that she would be there entertaining friends and family for dinners, taking shopping trips and having to inform everyone of the latest bags and shoes that she had found 'BARGAIN' she would say I can hear her now.

I have various fond memories of Carol that will be precious to me always. I can see her now dancing away and singing to the black eyed peas at her birthday party, that was the last party we were at and what a great one to. Despite the fact that you got covered in mud just before everyone began to arrive, because the car had got stuck in the mud. People say times a great healer but as time goes by the tears have got futher apart but the gap that you have left in our life still remains, if anything it is getting bigger. No-one will ever be able to fill the gap that you have left because no-one will ever come close to the remarkable person, friend, sister and sister-in-law that you were Carol and do you know what? I wouldn't want them to either.

Please light a candle for Carol and if you wish tell of your memories, because if you knew Carol then she would of definately touched your life in some way.Or maybe you just want to pass on your condolences.

I initally have set this web page up for Fred, my husband, who was Carol's brother, he was her rock when she most needed one. Fred I hope you feel able to leave messages and light candles as freely as you wish in the hope that it may offer you the comfort that I am unable to give and able to ease the lose that you are feeling in some way ,I Love you.

Carol we love you and always will, your forever in our hearts and always in our thoughts xxx.
