Hey everyone, I’m writing to share some incredibly sad news. My Aunt Carol passed away peacefully yesterday, surrounded by loved ones. It feels surreal even typing those words, and the whole family is still processing the shock and grief. She was such a vibrant and unforgettable person, and the hole she’s left in our lives is immense. It’s hard to believe she’s gone.
Aunt Carol was more than just an aunt; she was a confidante, a mentor, and a truly amazing woman. She had this infectious laugh that could brighten even the dreariest day, and her kindness knew no bounds. She always had time for everyone, offering a listening ear, a warm hug, or a piece of her famous apple pie (which, let’s be honest, was legendary). We’ll miss her quick wit, her unwavering support, and her boundless love.
Losing her is devastating, but thinking back on all the wonderful memories we shared brings a little comfort. We’ll be celebrating her life in a memorial service next week, and I’ll share more details soon. For now, I just wanted to let you all know and to thank you for your love and support during this difficult time. It means the world to me and to my family.

So, that’s it. Sharing all that felt… right, I think. A little messy, maybe, just like Aunt Millie herself would have wanted. It’s strange to be on the other side of that kind of sharing, you know? Putting those feelings into words helped, though, and I appreciate you taking the time to read them. It means a lot.
Thanks for being here, for listening, for remembering Aunt Millie with me. Come back and visit anytime; there’s always more to say about a life as wonderfully full as hers was. And hey, maybe next time we’ll talk about something a little less… somber! Until then, take care.
