Celebrating the life of Caroline Kai-Hian Chin

In the continued love I hold for the family, my memories with Caroline will remain precious. There are few words I could say that would offer comfort for such a loss, but I am here for you – in this day of ceremony and in the quiet ones afterwards.

Father God, thank you for Carol’s life and for all the years she had with all whom she loved. Thank you for your mercy and divine presence and for the assurance that she is in resting in your arms. We lift her family up to you too and ask that your peace and comfort be upon them. Amen

Miss you my dear dear friend. You are in a good place now. One with All. I know your spirit will always be with those you hold most dear.

Dearest Derek, Dan, Gabriel and Becci
Thinking of you
all and what life must be like without the engine room of your family that was C –
Caroline was the most amazing friend to me and such an indulgent aunt to our children-
I believed I would be able to listen to her stories of you all, her humour along with the intellectual rigour she brought to every situation until we were both very old ladies-
C said we won’t be making new memories – and you must feel that but the huge love she felt for you will always be there with you and your family. I’m so sorry that so much love accompanies such enormous loss. Will miss C more than I can say – all our love to you Derek, the boys and Becci.

Dearest Derek, Daniel, Gabriel and Rebecca,
At this time of great loss and sadness, we hold you up in prayer that you will find solace in the fact that Carol has gone ahead to a better place where there is peace and no pain.
“ What though the radiance that was once so bright, be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.” – William Wordsworth.

With much love,
Serene and David Chan

My deepest condolences to Dr Chin and his family. Caroline’s love of all the wonderful things in life like cooking, arts, travelling, and her friendship and kindness to many will live on. May she rest in peace.

Dear Derek,

As you bid a final farewell to your beloved wife, know that you have friends who share in your grief and will always be there for you….Regards, Chee Seng

Dear Uncle Derek, Gabriel, and Daniel

I am sorry for your loss of Aunty Carol. She was a kind woman who always treated me with such love and affection. I cherish the memories of our afternoon teas, the musicals we enjoyed together, and, most importantly, the heartfelt conversations and time we shared together. Her kindness and warmth, especially when I felt lonely in London, left a lasting impression on me.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the memories you created together and strength in each other.

Love,
Michelle

Dearest Derek and family
My deepest condolences. May she Rest in Peace in the arms of our Lord. I will miss Carol, her bubbly personality fills a room and you can’t but be drawn into her energy and positivity. She will be missed. I have lost a dear friend. We used to call her Big Bird not just because she towered over the rest of us but also how she was always kind and considerate of others.
Pls take care Derek, Daniel, Gabriel and Becci.
Praying for all the family in this difficult time. Carol may be gone but she will not be forgotten. God Bless!

I can still hear your laughter Carol, your zest for all things. May your laughter and enthusiasm continue to fill the heavens and shower down on Derek and your sons to fill their void.
