On Wednesday, July 29, 2020, my beloved mother, Carol Boer's life came to an end after nearly four years battling Lewy Body Dementia. Her passing is a truly devastating loss that leaves a hole in our hearts only she had the capacity to fill.  <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/50036248_1596175005203827_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="50036248_1596175005203827_r.jpeg" /> Diagnosed in November 2016, just 10 months after her retirement, we've shared our agonizing story of a mother and daughter's journey--from the diagnosis to the debilitating loss in memory and cognitive function--through our own #DementiaDiaries.  She had an enormous ability to serve others, as seen in her selfless decision to share her own harrowing , personal story as dementia robbed her of her memories and cognitive ability before ravaging her physically.  Her hope was that sharing our journey would raise awareness and promote the need for funding and new treatments. As a result we found strength in a community of those impacted by dementia - who spread encouragement to us and allowed us to contribute back to the millions of others living with or care taking for someone with dementia.  - Her story: <a href="https://www.diariesofdementia.com/our-video" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Love from Long Distance</a>  - <a href="https://www.diariesofdementia.com/our-blog" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dementia Diaries Blog</a> : <a href="https://www.diariesofdementia.com/"><a href="https://www.diariesofdementia.com/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.diariesofdementia.com/</a></a> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/50036248_1596174942735656_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="50036248_1596174942735656_r.jpeg" /> We are asking you to join us in continuing to share her journey and facilitating a positive way to help others. Donating in Carol's memory:  We want to be thoughtful and extremely diligent in determine the best ways to direct these funds. Ensuring that your contributions will make an impact in a way that represents the story and journey that my mom, myself and so many other caregivers have themself experienced.  That said, while we are coordinating final plans as a result of my mother’s passing - we will very soon be actively researching and doing our due-diligence in evaluating the best resources, services, and ways that we can direct these meaningful and symbolic contributions. This is absolutely our promise and dedicated commitment to all of you who choose to contribute.  We also welcome suggestions by sharing your own positive experiences with organizations/resources, connections, and ideas. Some considerations include: funding for caregiver counseling, supporting the publishing of educational materials, contributing to local senior centers, donating to the Lewy Body Dementia Association, and so many more powerful opportunities. Thank you for all of your support over the last 4 years, your endless words of encouragement, and continuous dedication to a community of people who never asked to join this “club”. Your generosity has and will never be forgotten - and we hope you continue with us in this “final step” for Carol - as well as where we go from here. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/50036248_1596174860165297_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="50036248_1596174860165297_r.jpeg" /> About Carol:  Carol, was born in April 1948 in Everett, Washington. She was the eldest of eight and lived her entire life in and around Snohomish and King County.  Family was, and will always be, what Carol considered the most important gift in life. She cherished her own mother and held on tight to her memories. She adored her father. And in addition to her birth parents, she loved and respected her step mom--and valued the dedication of her faith.   She delighted in her seven siblings and lived to spend time with them at family dinners, holidays and family reunions. She loved living close to them and in her later years often expressed how much she enjoyed several of them living within just a few miles. As much as my mom loved her siblings, she also took great joy in their children. Often making or sewing clothes for her nieces, taking them to get department store pictures or just babysitting a nephew. Perhaps it was that time with her nieces or nephews that solidified her biggest goal in life. Or what I believe she’d consider her greatest accomplishment--becoming a mother. A mother of twins no less. She leaves behind her twin children, Andrew and Katie, three grandchildren, seven siblings, more than a dozen nieces and nephews, numerous cousins, as well as countless friends.  Learn more about her life <a href="https://www.diariesofdementia.com/our-story" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/50036248_1596173276329115_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="50036248_1596173276329115_r.jpeg" />
