In Loving Memory of Carolyn Kelly

What was supposed to be the vacation of a lifetime, turned out to be our biggest nightmare when my mom Carolyn suddenly got sick and passed away, on the vacation of her lifetime. The vacation she planned for months to come to Spain and visit Chris, without any idea she would be coming to say her goodbyes. The reason my brother and I decided to start this page is to give the opportunity to whom have offered to help us to do so. My mom was loved and cared for by all who met her and were part of her life.

On May 22nd while vacationing in Spain, she fell sick in the supermarket. She was rushed to the ER by ambulance but she was in very critical condition. Upon her arrival at the hospital they discovered she had severe pancreatitis, in less than 24 hours she was induced into a coma. They started doing dialysis as her kidneys were not functioning properly anymore. Within 48 hours her lungs and heart were failing. Her pancreas had affected all of her organs which led to her death on Friday May 26th at 13.27. In the meantime Kayla had to rush from Aruba to kiss mom for one last time.

If you feel you would like to help us with our moms's funeral expenses, Spanish hospital bill (make sure you have travel insurance when u travel) and her return to Aruba, you can donate here.

Love, Kayla and Chris Arends
