Wow--Irish twins! That must have been fun, especially for your mother!

My sister died of breast cancer/treatments also. She was three years younger but much wiser than me. I miss her every day...

I well remember how bad I felt for you when your sister was dying. I'm close to my younger sister, and I know how I would feel if I lost her. If only it was known back then about ivermectin, Fenbendazole, and other things that are curing cancers now.

What a beautiful tribute to a wild Irish twin. Grieving the loss of a loved one is as hard as it gets. I admire your strength and compassion, as we go through these very hard times.

What a moving tribute to your sister! Made me cry.

Alas, my one and only older sister and I have never been close since childhood, my dysfunctional toxic family allowed poisonous sibling rivalry to rampage unchecked and as an adult all my attempts to get close and have a relationship never really worked. She still thinks I'm her brat kid sister pain in the ass more than 50 years later, for gosh sakes! I wish I could be close to my sister.

Happy birthday to both your sister and early wishes to you. In July. If I miss it.

Wish my 13 month elder sister & I were friends.

Holding you up in your grief. May Dede's memory be eternal. As you honor her today (and every day) you give her the highest honor of all- remembrance. xoxo

It seemed to me the brief time I knew her (I recall the three of us sitting at a table in Los Angeles area) that Dede was smart as a whip and sized people up instantaneously. She was a force to be reckoned with and more than that her core was so solid you could almost feel her heart beating in protection and love for you, Cindy. A remarkable human being.
