I'm so sorry to hear the news. These past few months have certainly been an ordeal for her and for you -- I know you have tried very hard to see that she got the right level of attention and care.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

No words from me will ever help fill the void left by your sister, but I want to say your sister must have been so proud of you. You gave unconditional support to all her decisions and allowed her to have control over her own destiny, no one ever could have done more..
May your God walk with you.
Sunshine... love and hugs
