Carlos Terrones

Two years have passed and we still miss you every day. Felix is now with you and we hope you are sharing a bottle of Single Malt.

Welcome family & friends

I put this page together for the first anniversary and have kept it up for the second. At the time, we were a little dizzy with the events that unfolded and then jumping into action to do the things you do at such times. I would like to say it is a haze, but sadly it is not.

I know that we all still struggle with his loss and it was bittersweet putting together the video of the final ceremony. Now with Felix also gone, this video is doubly sad. It is for anybody who would like to hear the memories that were shared on the day and for those that were unable to attend and wished they could have paid their respects at the time.

Spoiler alert! There is a lot of sniffing into microphones.

This is a video of the ceremony, for those who would like to have been there and couldn’t.

We added images of his life and the music that we played.

Eulogies

These are the words as spoken on the video

Order of Ceremony

This was how the ceremony ran on the day

Our imagination facilitator.

You are the catalyst of creativity in this big family and this generation will try our best to continue that inspiring inventiveness.
Thank you for all the things you have taught us and all the love you have given us.
May you peacefully build impressive things in your dreams.

- Elena, Angus, Tomas & Alex

Still with us!

We couldn’t quite let go of him just yet, so we each took a part of him home with us, so we could still feel connected. I flew with him (Dove container) to Sydney, Tere strapped him in for the trip back to Winchester and Irene took him home and surrounded him with books he would like. Mum kept him in the Rose container and talks to him regularly. He may not be so happy about that.

Carlos, your journey has just begun.

Don’t think of him as gone away, because his journey has just begun
Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one
Just think of him as resting, from the sorrow and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort, where there are no days or years
Think how he must be wishing that we could know today
How nothing but our sadness can really pass away
And think of him of living in the hearts of those he touched
For nothing loved is ever lost and Carlos was loved very much
