Sad news to report today. Carol Ann Reilly passed away early last week. I knew she had been having health issues but assumed she was improving as Tom never said anything and her kids never posted updates on Facebook. Her death was a sad surprise. She was buried today - just across the roadway from Mom and Dad at Calvary Cemetery. I had the Hunts over for 'fellowship' after the burial (everyone was invited but the Reillys had other plans.) I provided a simple meal of sandwiches, chips, brownies and soup. George and Piper and John and his kids joined us. Tom told me as they were leaving that for the last 6 weeks or so, they had been doing for others; taking care of Carol Ann and her husband, Mike, keeping siblings updated, helping where they were needed and tending their own bunch. He said lunch was the first time someone had taken care of them and he really appreciated the effort. It was truly the least I could do.
Bailey was beyond himself when Andrea walked in the house. He has missed her.
