I was the volunteer manager for hospice for many years and had the absolute honour to work with Coral for much of that time. She worked in our inpatient unit and after time, began doing the orientation for our new volunteers. Coral was absolutely committed to hospice and used to fill in for other volunteers as well as come in at very short notice. She also did some community patient care work with some specific patients. She was kind, thoughtful, insightful and had a lovely sense of humour which was appreciated by patients and staff alike. Coral was hugely missed when she retired. Please accept my apologies for not attending Coral's funeral as I would have liked to be there. RIP Coral. You were a very special person.

Throughout the years when I worked at Hospice and Coral was a volunteer, she is one of the people whom I hold close to my heart. She was warm, welcoming and encouraging to everyone she met. Her unique blend of kindness and practicality sprinkled with the holy spirit was what contributed to the twinkle in her eye. Rest well, Coral. Your work on earth is over. Enjoy the heavenly welcoming party. xx

An amazing lady who we were priviledged to have as part of our lives for a time. We met in the guiding world but Coral and Kevin invited us into their lives especially Deliese who enjoyed many hours with them. Nelson will be poorer for the loss of this tireless lady. Andy and Elaine Wills
