After battling for 16 months, my dear sister passed away yesterday morning. She had been admitted to the general hospital three weeks ago after a fall and was then taken to the hospice a week ago, where her condition quickly deteriorated. She battled to the end and I admire her so for her strength and bravery.

I also have the greatest respect for every one of you fighting this disease - and I can't begin to imagine the daily battles you all have to get through.
You are all stars.
