Carol MacLeod

 We were devastated to hear that our wonderful friend Carol, lovely wife of Ken MacLeod, passed away shortly after attending the Glasgow Worldcon.

Carol was a delight and we considered ourselves very lucky to have Ken and Carol as friends, even as distance and circumstances meant that we hadn't seen as much of them in recent years. We had hit it off as friends since meeting properly for the first time at a convention in Sweden.

Carol's sparkle comes through beautifully in this photo of the four of us enjoying a well-earned beer, probably in Upsalla or maybe Stockholm. When our subsequent travels took us to Edinburgh, we always made sure to try and meet the MacLeods and our memories of Carol will remain with us. She loved music, especially Simpy Red and Oasis, although her tastes ran far and wide.

Carol's passing was unexpected, and our thoughts go out to Ken, Sharon, Michael and all of Carol's friends and family as this most difficult time. 

Thanks, Carol, for the light you brought, for your smile and your infectious love of life. 

Your friends, Al + J
