[Debs sis]

My sweet sister passed this morning. One year and two months after diagnosis and a rapid progression. In the end she went 13 days without food and just sips of water. We couldn't get her comfy at home, and the drugs weren't helping. We transferred her to inpatient hospice (her decision) where they took excellent care to get her out of pain. She was awake, aware and calling the shots until they gave her drugs. Bless her heart, I know you guys didn't know her but she was the sweetest soul ever. 61 yrs old.

So sorry for your loss, Deb. Loss my older sis to this beast as well and my FIL too. So much for a "rare" disease, huh? Prayers to you and the family.
