Caroline was a talented teenager who overcame all the odds to become a champion cyclist but her life was cruelly ended by a hidden killer disease.
Caroline attended Fulwood High School and Arts College and Preston College.
The superfit 16-year-old was unaware that she had Addison's disease – a condition so rare only six cases are diagnosed in every one million people.
Caroline leaves behind her heartbroken father Geoff. Her mum Maggie died six years ago.
Caz or Cags as she was known to friends and family was 10 weeks premature weighing only 2lb 9oz. But being premature never stopped her in life and from the age of 10 she went on to become an accomplished cyclist.
At the time of her death, she was the undefeated Women's Cycle Racing Association National Junior Champion.
Waiting at the Door
I can’t explain so deep inside
The very fabric of my soul
Only a heart that grieves such loss
Can ever truly understand
It’s like you’re waiting at the door
Until a loved one comes back home
You feel a longing in your heart
When they appear the longing stops
But in a loss that never ends
You’re always standing at that door
You feel the longing in the breeze
So incomplete and never filled
I cannot find the words to say
Just what it’s like to want forever
Never seeing them again
Just always waiting at the door

When you think your road is rocky and a bit too steep to climb,
When you think your guardian angel needs to work some overtime,
When your personal jigsaw puzzle has some pieces that won't fit,
When life has no rhyme or reason and you can't make sense of it,
YOU NEED A RAINBOW When the clouds are dark and stormy
And have blocked the sunshine out, And perhaps you start to wonder
What this life is all about, When your trials and tribulations seem to be so hard to bear,
And it seems there is no justice anytime or anywhere, LOOK FOR YOUR RAINBOW
When the molehills seem like mountains and the obstacles are great,
When you feel so heavy laden and your worries just inflate,
When you can't see any ending to the problems that you face,
For they just keep on increasing and you need some breathing space,
PRAY FOR YOUR RAINBOW It may be you need to look a little higher than before,
Or perhaps a little further to see past the clouds once more.
But you'll know it's worth the effort when your rainbow you can see,
And you understand the love behind God's creativity,
SEARCH FOR YOUR RAINBOW
For your rainbow holds a promise that this turbulence will cease,
And your inner conflict will become, instead, deep inner peace.
But if, though searching, you can't find your rainbow at this time,
Until you can, I say with love, you're welcome to share mine
From all the Borthwick Family
