Sue, please accept my sympathy on the passing of your brother. It is very important that people be able to recognize signs of a stroke.
When I first started doing loan closings, I had a borrower have a stroke at the closing table. It was my second closing and a very memorable one. The borrower was of middle age. As we were sitting at the table, she just got a blank look on her face and looked down. Her daughter kept saying "mom" over and over, getting louder each time for about 30 minutes and still no response. I didnt know what to do and neither did the daughter so she called 911 and obviously the signing cancelled. The daughter did call me later that evening to tell me that her mother did have a stroke. Thankfully, she did survive. Had I had any knowledge regarding symptoms of a stroke, I would have recognized the symptoms and called 911 sooner.
Thank you for your reminder.
