I would like to give kudos, props, thanks to my sister-in-law, Nancy N. Wilke. What a strong, heroic woman! Nancy was married to John R. Wilke, who passed from this life on Friday. John "wasn't dying" and did not want anyone around him feeling that he was.
Nancy honored his wishes and yet managed to bring him home for a week before he breathed his last. All his brothers got to be with him at his home in Bethesda in a very intimate way. They watched the Red Sox and the sunsets together. Nancy shared his end with them. Hurray for all of you--having the courage to be with John and greet death, and all its indignities, with fortitude. I love you.
