The family expressed relief that her final decline was rapid.
"So I'm just really grateful that it was really quick, and she didn't know," Grace added.
Caitlin's younger sister Neve recalled how happy the 24-year-old had been during her final two weeks.
"She mentioned to a couple of people that she was the happiest that she'd ever been in her last two weeks," Neve said.
"Even though she won't be there for the wedding, we got to get dressed up, all together," Neve added.
Her older brother Ethan remembered their humorous interactions. "She was just really funny.
It's not the type of funny that's just telling jokes, it's sibling banter that just bounces off each other – we're just one upping each other, like tennis," he said.
Caitlin's mother Jennifer described her as a resilient, independent, and deeply compassionate person.
"Caitlin was a warm, bubbly, humble and loving daughter who was considerate and endlessly kind to others," she said.
"She was fiercely independently-minded and stoic in her attitude to life," Jennifer added.
Her father Ian lauded her positivity.
"Caitlin was very positive and had the outlook that things will always be OK in the end, and if it's not OK, it's not the end," he said.
