My Sister
About a year ago I posted a thread about my Sister who had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She passed yesterday in McHenry Ill. There was no coma or drama. She was lucid up until about an hour before she died. She simply stopped breathing.
Lori was like a cat with 9 lives. Her life was not an easy one; some by her choice and some out of her control. She really suffered from the cancer and weighed about 70 pounds in the end.
It sucks

So sorry to hear about your sister, may she rest in peace. Cancer sucks, we have been lucky, we have had 3 family members beat cancer, hence why I wear a live"LIVESTRONG" wrist band.

Very sorry for your loss.
One of my favorite quotes -- I hope it gives you some peace...
"When we have loved someone and that person dies, what happens to all the love we invested in that person? The Israeli poet Yehuda Amichai offers a bold and arresting image to answer that question. He suggests that a person’s body absorbs and stores all the love it receives in the course of a lifetime, from parents, from lovers, from husbands or wives, from children and friends. Then, when the body dies, it pours out all that love “like a broken slot machine disgorging the coins of all the generations,” and all the people nearby, and all the world, are warmed by the love that has been returned to them. People die, but love does not die. It is recycled from one heart, from one life, to another. "
