My parents had four daughters and five sons. The two oldest sisters in the family have both battled breast cancer. Ferne is now cancer free but we lost my sister, Sharon, in March 2008. She was such a fighter!
The cancer returned twice before she died.
My sister, Ferne, is also a strong woman. She survived a heart attack earlier this year too.
I make sure to keep up with my annual check-ups.
My two sisters inspire me daily to never give up, no matter how tough life can be. I love them both very much. Sharon's memory is always with me. She is dearly missed.
