Thank you all for your kind words regarding my sister, she was one of a kind for sure.
You know it is a strange thing when someone dies, for me, I felt like I inheritied in a way, a lot of eace and understanding that she was just full of. I could see it in other relatives too.

I'm sure it was a very difficult experience for everyone in your family, but that's not a bad legacy to remember her by. :)

My sister was a very quiet bookish person, taught English in a Jr. High and later became a librarian at NASA and endured a 16 year marriage to someone who was mentally ill. She finally got the nerve to leave him and have a life of her on and my gawd what a life she had. She was published in Ms. Magazine, she travelled to Pakistan and all over the British Isles, the U.S. She survived breast cancer, she got her pilots license and she died doing what she loved.
When I stood in line at that visitation and heard one woman after another come up to me and tell me how much they admired her for what she did in her life, I knew that would be a lasting legacy. So many of them told me they admired her because she had done things they never could. That flabbergashed me. I told them oh hell yes they could, they better.
I have posted this link before, but it has been a while:
