September 15, 1974- April 4, 2010My sister Sara was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the middle of January and had her first brain surgery on February 2. The surgery was successful and her recovery looked good. Complications arose and was admitted to the hospital again. I was able to go down with my mom, dad, brother and sisters on Valentines day. She was in good spirits and after 10 days of being in the hospital, she was able to go home.
More complications and back to the hospital to have her second surgery. During surgery, an artery burst, she slipped into a coma and never came out. I was able to be with my family to say our last goodbyes. Please pray for her sweet family.Sara, I love you and miss you!
