We went ahead with our plans to travel to Ontario, OR to visit Caroline's aunt. Was supposed to make the trip with mom and call it an early Thanksgiving.
Five minutes before we arrived at Aunt Marie's we get a call. Caroline's grandmother, about to turn 101 on Thanksgiving, passed away. So now the trip is moving on to the Portland/Vancouver area to attend the services for her grandmother.
I'll check in when I can but we'll probably be out of touch for a week.
With mom, grandma and Aunt Millie earlier this year I hope that Caroline is done with bereavement for the year. Hell, for the millennium.

Scott, Caroline-- I'm so sorry. Seriously, it-it's so hard. Sending good thoughts and best wishes your way. May you have the strength and courage to face what has come... and what still may face you. Good luck. And know that we love you.

I am happy for anyone who can celebrate a grandparent's 100th birthday, and sad for anyone who loses a grandparent. They are all very special. My thoughts and wishes for safe travels to you and Caroline.

Wow, I'm so sorry I missed this thread before so I could have expressed my sympathies, so please accept a double dose of love and hugs from Michigan. My thoughts are with you.
