As a lot of you are already aware, Caroline's Mom passed away on Tuesday, shortly after Noon. She had been in the hospital since last Wednesday and was diagnosed with an extremely bad case of pneumonia.
By Thursday we had to come to the realization that this was probably the final hospitalization Mom would have to go through. And that evening she was placed into a medically induced coma so they could put her on a ventilator. She never fully recovered.
This is the reason why my Avatar has changed for those of you that have asked. I wanted to do a small gesture that I could just have with me here for a while.
Our lives are going to be quite empty and quiet now and it will take some time for Caroline to fully recover. She's had to deal with losing both of her parents within a year along with a close aunt (Mom's sister).
There isn't much more I really want to say about what happened. I just wanted everyone to be away of what Caroline is going through right now and hopefully understand if she doesn't reply to e-mails or PMs for a while.
I've been asked if there was a favorite charity of Mom's for donations. She had so many she supported, even on a limited income. Most of them were related to the veterans. Mom was a nurse, trained during the War (that's WWII for you youngin's) and she always felt they needed the most assistance. Especially our new veterans. So anyone who wishes to make a donation in Mom's name please do so to the Disabled American Veterans (DAV).
Thank you to everyone who has already given us their condolences. Caroline has been reading them and they do help. You guys are a big part of our lives and many of you are family.
Please take the time to tell a loved one how much you love them. You never know what life brings.
This was taken just a month ago on our last road trip.

I just wanted to add-- I mentioned very briefly what'd happened to a friend of mine in passing and he said to give virtual hugs from him. So here's an extra
