There's obviously still more to write about Carol, and our families ongoing journey - how we all carry on after the funeral, what life holds for the family as we come to terms with Carol's loss, and there's the small matter of a trip to New York and Memphis to fulfil Carol's wishes and spread some of her ashes in those places that were so special to her.
I've also set-up a Tribute Fund in Carol's name on the MNDA website. This is for any donations that people would like to make on behalf of Carol, and as a lasting reminder of her incredibly brave fight against the disease that took her life. The link below will take you to the website and personal donations can be made quoting Carol's name and Tribute Fund number 281673.
Carol asked for donations in lieu of flowers and we raised a total of £627 on the day of the funeral, thanks to the generosity of family and friends, and many other donations have been made directly into the Fund since then. If anyone is considering donating to charity or fundraising in the future, continued support for those living with MND and ongoing research into the disease is a valuable cause indeed.

I'm also developing a memorial website for Carol - the link is below. This is a place for family and friends to leave comments, stories, thoughts and photo's and will allow us to remember Carol in our own way. Hopefully, in time, we'll be able to create a website that will honour Carol's memory and remind the world of the beautiful spirit that has been taken away well before her time.
