Dearest Caragh´s loved ones.
My heart is saddened for you all.
Caragh certainly touched many hearts in her teaching & all she did x
Her humble & selfless way that smile & laugh
I´ll treasure our messages as some she sent me inspired me to keep on keeping on.
We had a lovely teaching relationship and I was blessed to teach beside her at Greytown School. The best being that Ms Briggs taught my gal. Fav teacher
We had many a heart felt chat, both professionally & personal. We loved our down time moments & custard squares x
A beautiful person who enriched my life & all those she encountered.

To Robin and Marilyn and Caragh's family - I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Though it's been 40 years since I was last in NZ, I remember Caragh fondly from my childhood in Wellington. The world has lost another bright light.
