Sorry to hear it my friend. 'Tis a tough thing to lose an older sister. Amazing how smart they were. I love Janice and I never met her, but older sisters are special. I lost my last older sister last yer ans she too was 82 and suffering from dementia. The similarities are scary, so I feel your loss. Thanks for letting us in on your sorrow. Love to you and the sweet one.
