My sister,Sharon Lease Neisen, was seven years older than me so I always looked up to her. She was pretty, loving, understanding, a wife, a mother of seven children, a grandmother and great-grandmother. She was diagnosed with Parkinson when she was 62. She had spent her entire adult life waiting on and taking care of her husband and children. Just when she had her children raised and could do things she would like to do, she started having problems. Her Parkinson was progressing at a faster speed than we thought would happen. She struggled with walking and shaking along with back and stomach problems, too. It would break my heart everytime I would look at her and see her suffering.
