66 is far too young. She sounds like a wonderfully vibrant woman who lived life to the fullest. May you find comfort knowing she lived life on her terms. Your tribute to her and memories of her time here are life affirming.

Thank you for sharing Ken. These are issues we all must face, and taking note of where we are in the cycle of life is always a good thing, maybe not pleasant, but I believe it is important. I am sorry for your loss of your sister. There really are no words.

I have been thinking similar things. I am much busier than I want to be at the cusp of 64, but I feel I’m doing important and impactful work.
