Words always fail me at times like this, but I can't let this go without comment. I recall some of the painful details of sis' slow deterioration, & I know that those "long goodbyes" are the worst...and I know that only now, can the family start closing this chapter & move on. I also recall that Lixy is atheistic & proud of it (& I've reached the point where the same old answers don't work for me anymore), so I won't be sending her any prayers etc., but I am wishing for her strength & good thoughts in her dark hours...

As I recall, Lixy had to bury another sibling a couple of years ago; this is getting to be too much of a habit.
