Carol GRAY Obituary

I have just heard this very sad news about Carol passing. I send much loving comfort to all her family and friends. We "discovered" each other through Papakura Neighbourly, then discovered we´re both from Ashburton, so we instantly connected. The world will miss your smiley face and so will I.

We are thankful for a God that cares & understands the heart of each one.
Carol you did your best & we will remember the memories with love.
Our love & sympathy to all the family.

Special memories of times together, when we first met in Ottawa. Love and sympathy to family.

Carol was a dear friend & sister to me. She was there through the hardest experience of my life...giving care, comfort & encouragement. I´ll never forget her & thankful for the weeks she spent with us in Cochrane AB. Canada. Gone on now to that which is far better. She will be missed. Sending sincere sympathy to family. Beth Dean

"Auntie" Carol,
We "adopted" you into our family & we loved every minute. You taught me how to make the best pavlova when we stayed together. You tried to teach me English to

You were always somehow I could talk to you about earthly things & heavenly thing. You were always someone I looked up

I will miss you late night texts & calls. However we know you are in the place you worked for all your life.

We will always remember you

The Lord saw the fruit was ripe for harvest.
Thinking of you all in your loss of a sister.
Love and sympathy.

Bye, my dearest friend. I will sadly miss you.
You helped me lots through life's ups and downs but I know that you have been called home to meet your loving Saviour.
"Called home to rest, safe in the Saviours' keeping, Celestial joys before the throne of God, await the heirs of Christ and true salvation, and angels sing sweet melodies of grace.
Not far away, always in my thoughts.
Love from Steph.

Carol was a very dear friend and sister to me. Our birthdays are very close .. almost twins. I have always appreciated her care and interest and surely will miss her. Sending sympathies to all her family.

"Just as I am, Thou wilt receive
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve
Because Thy promise I believe
O Lamb of God, I come, I come"

We have many fond memories of Carol in Alberta, Canada.
And especially in November 2019 when we had special days with her in New Zealand all arranged by her. Time heals and memories cheer. A victory won.
Sincere condolences to her family, workers and friends.

A wonderful lady giving of her best and now on toward her eternal reward!

Carol has been a great friend who I have known all my life, she has now gone to be with Christ, which is far better, her wish the last time I spoke with her. We think of her years in the harvest field, she gave her all while she was able, and we are comforted to know she has gone to her eternal home, she is at rest now, sickness and pain gone forever, safely home in our Heavenly Father's kingdom, where she will receive a rich reward for her faithfulness.

We are so sorry to hear of Carol's passing.I remember her well, when we were growing up in Ashburton.Thinking of you all at this sad time.
Kind Regards Ruth(nee Keele) & Keith Murray
