Until about 6 months ago there was a little old woman that lived downstairs from me. She was the first person I met at my complex. She was ornery, cantankerous, opinionated...she was Evelyn. That was just her. We got along (most of the time). She was the grandma of the building and the complex, taking care of everyone.

A year ago, Mike (the guy who lives downstairs) and I noticed she was different. We joked when we said it, but it was the truth...she was getting *nicer*. Our theory? Alzheimer's.

We were actually right.

Six months ago her son finally convinced her to move to an assisted living community. Her dog had died, so she had no ties to staying there anymore. From the time we had noticed a difference in her behavior to the time she moved I had conversations with her where she thought I was someone else entirely. She had fallen many times, hurt herself accidentally, run off 6 nurses. She was crotchety, but she was Evelyn.

Evelyn passed away yesterday.

She loved NASCAR and hated Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt. So for her...this icon as a salute.
