Carol had visited us a relatively short time before, just after Bill had died and we had gone over to lunch with Eva in her daughter Anne's home in Johannesburg. Carol had come again in 2002 as Alan's daughter, Johanna, was doing some volunteer work organised by her University in SWA (Namibia) and Alan,Miriam and Greta were going to visit her and asked Carol if she'd like to travel with them and visit us, which she did. It was a wonderful time and nobody, not even Carol herself realised that she was not well. She actually only became ill in September and the seriousness of the cancer was only found in late October.
