Personal tragedy in family

I have not been on my blog for quite a while.  

My younger and only sister, Donna, died June 13th.  She had lived with the physical effects of a stroke from 2001; her right hand and foot would curl up and give her trouble, especially when she got really tired.  She was quite independent, though, and passed a driving test again. 

It was not expected this early and took us all for a loop.  Grieving still and miss her like crazy.  I loved my sister.  I took this picture about twenty days before her death.  Her daughter and I were with her when she died, I still have bad dreams about that whole day.  It is going to take a good long time before we are OK again.
