My older sister Lou died this morning. She was a big part of my life. Neither one of my daughters would be alive today if not for Lou as she saved me from drowning when I was 4 years old. She leaves her husband Donn, daughter Rachel and son Jesse. My wife, mother and daughter Lauren spent the past weekend with her in Missouri celebrating Rachel's 16th birthday and saying thanks and goodbye to Lou. I'll see her again someday in a place where there is no pain or sickness.
