CAROLINE BOYLAN Obituary

Boylan, Caroline C. "Nina" age 26 of Concord and Gloucester Massachusetts, passed away on Saturday, August 23, 2014 after a long illness. She is survived by her parents, Ted and Miranda, and her brothers, Schuyler and Tristan, in addition to her paternal grandparents and many uncles, aunts and cousins. Growing up summering on Cape Ann, Nina learned to sail at the Eastern Point Yacht Club. She attended the Winsor School in Boston where she was captain of the sailing team and graduated in 2006. Before her illness she attended both Bard College and Rollins College where she sailed at a varsity level. When diagnosed with cancer in January of 2011 Nina began a journey, seeking the most innovative treatments, pushing the boundaries of contemporary medicine in America. She received extraordinary care at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston, the Fachkrankenhaus in Coswig, Germany and at the Paracelsus Clinic in Lustmuhl, Switzerland. Her family would like to express their deep appreciation to all who cared for her. She was a vibrant, intelligent, witty young woman who touched many hearts along the way. Arrangements will be private.

Dear Miranda,
We met at Paracelsus. Nina is someone who has stayed with me for years after meeting her. I was so saddened to hear that she passed. She is a hero for me. She took on her illness with a depth of intelligence, persistence, and creativity rarely encountered. Her maturity was striking. Her relationship with you is one of the most beautiful mother-daughter relationships I've seen. While her life was short lived, she accomplished more in her years than most do in a lifetime. You were so lucky to have each other. My love to you and to Ted as you grieve the loss of such an amazing daughter and person.

I just learned of Caroline's passing and wanted to send my warmest thoughts and feelings to her family. As a nurse who cared for Caroline, I grieve for her. I was fortunate to get to know her - a very bright, insightful, engaging, and fun young woman who I always looked forward to seeing every week. I enjoyed her immensely and we shared many, many moments of laughter. In fact, we laughed every time she visited the doctor's office where I worked and cared for her. I will never forget Caroline.

To the Boylan family, I've never had the opportunity to meet Caroline, nor anyone in the family for that matter but my heart is heavy for your loss. Looking at her picture I can see kindness radiating through her smile. I too am 26 and sometimes forget how precious life is. If it's any consolation to your family, reading Caroline's obituary made me realize that life is short and I should enjoy every moment that I have. It reminds me that I should fight my battles with all my strength. It reminds me that for every experience, whether good or bad provides a valuable lesson.
Caroline, may you rest in peace sweet angel. God has called you home. Sing and rejoice with the angels in heaven. No more tears, no more pain.
