I read the news of Caroline's passing with some shock and much sadness. Like many others, my main contacts with Caroline as a colleague were encounters in corridors, although she was a willing and enthusiastic member of the teaching team for a graduate course I coordinated early in my time at Bristol some ten years ago. But even in brief moments - at the back of 15 Woodland Road, or standing waiting for a coffee in a nearby cafe, Caroline was unfailingly friendly, sympathetic - a genuinely caring colleague. I send my condolences to her family and friends.
