On Sunday, Nov. 30, my sister Megan suffered a brain hemorrhage which caused a tremendous buildup of pressure, leading to a stroke. Surgery was, unfortunately, not an option due to underlying medical conditions, so we had to wait and hope. Things did not progress well, however, and after 10 days, and in accordance with the wishes spelled out in Megan’s advanced directive, her husband, with consultation with family had to make the difficult decision to remove her from life support. She died on December 10.

Adieu ma soeur.

The excellent picture was taken by my brother-in-law, Steve.
