We found out yesterday that my great-aunt Caroline had passed away. In February, she had a major stroke, and recently came down with an upper respiratory infection which she was unable to fight off. Since she lived most of my life in Florida, I didn't get to know her until recently, however she was a major part of my mother's life.

I will remember her as being fun to talk to, appreciative of a joke, and positive in all things. I'll also remember her quilling projects which are beautiful. Taking a bit of paper and, through painstaking effort, turning it into a work of art requires great patience.

We will miss Aunt Caroline, and our thoughts and prayers are with her sister (my grandmother), her husband Fred, my mom, and the rest of the family. This is a tough loss for us.

My great-aunt Caroline had a major stroke the other night. She is responsive, but not fully concious at this point, and there is still some bleeding in the brain, so they do not know what the prognosis is at this point. Prayers and positive thoughts are appreciated for her and her husband as well as the rest of the family.

Update:
My grandmother has passed on that Caroline is still stable, and her husband is able to visit her regularly. They remain hopeful that she will be able to return home eventually.
