Carmen SLATER Obituary

My Dear Carmen....my pen pal across the seas...
We met through your never ending kindness at the start of the pandemic when I could not get access to Simon Shukers code cracker puzzles here in the US at that time. We bonded immediately and I looked forward to all your pictures and emails...especially the photos of your family and their happy events.
I always joked with you about swimming here to Florida, so I could help u in any way I could...and knew, that u knew, life was going to be shortened for u. I hope u got a chance to give the pieces of jewelry to your boys that u had made up for them...
To Gerry and the boys....she was an incredible human being and I will miss her terribly. ( I knew when I didn´t hear back from her that she could not!)
Her love for her family, her job, this life, knew no bounds. The legacy she leaves behind will be remembered forever and her smile is indelible in my brain.

Our deepest sympathy to Carmen's extended family. We remember Carmen as the young girl who we loved having to stay during her Hilton School years. May your happy memories help you through this difficult time.

I'm so sorry that I wasn't there to say goodbye but I'm so sad that I didn't get the chance to say goodbye but I'll miss you terribly xx
Can't wait to tell my now 5 year old son about what an amazing person you really are
Much love xx

Very sad to hear of Carmen's passing. Thinking of all her family at this sad time.

Carmen, your vibrant smile, your beautiful heart - we'll miss you so much this side of the Rainbow Bridge. My hugest condolences to Carmen's family and friends. Words just don't say enough. xxx

Our Deepest Sympathy to you all.

So very sad to learn you have left this world too soon. The memory of your beautiful smile and laughter live on in the hearts of so many. Rest In Peace Carmen

This is just the saddest news. I am so sorry we had no idea Carmen was so unwell.
Sending our deepest sympathies to Gerry, Gabriel, Beau, Conor, Rodger, Jen. Our hearts are breaking for Melissa and Guy (and their families) our other kiwi cousins.
Carmen was such a sensational human, those close to her are lucky to have had her in their lives.
What a great loss to her family and community.
Carmen will be at peace now with her beautiful mum.
Much love Jo, Tom and Angus (the Aussie cousins)

What a fighter. Enjoy your rest and remember the great times you had with Jerry, your wonderful boys, family and friends. Gail and Wayne.

My deepest condolences to the extended Slater family. I will always remember that beautiful smile and stunning hair. I thank you Carmen for teaching me the joy of sliding down banisters and making billiard table huts. May you finally be at peace

Beautiful Carmen you brought so much love and joy into our family´s life. You will be forever loved. Rest in peace precious girl.
Geraldine Hassall and family

Carmen´s smile and laugh were as big as her heart and as warm as sunshine.
