Be with your sister as much as possible, even though I know the pain of watching her suffer.
Hold her hand, hold her, tell her how much you love her..
I would do anything in this entire world to have my precious sister back. I will pray for your sister and her entire family. What you are going though is unbearable and I wish I could take your pain away.
God bless you all,
Michelle

When the final hours come, even though she may not acknowlege you, sometimes they can hear us and squeeze our hands to let us know they know we are there. I hope her final journey is pain free. Remember we are all here to help.
Take care,
Eileen
