In today's episode, Jill McClennen talks with Lauren Fonseca about the death of her sister at a young age, as well as Jill and Lauren’s love for the state of NJ.
Lauren talks about the experience of having a sister live with and die from Cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that causes problems with breathing and digestion. CF affects about 35,000 people in the United States. (source https://www.cdc.gov/genomics/disease/cystic_fibrosis.htm)
When Lauren was 27 her sister died when she was 25.
Lauren shares with the listeners how her sister was a model for how to face death, she even was able to plan out her entire funeral from the outfit she would wear to the songs being sung and who would sing them.
In the end, her sister’s death led to her family being closer than they ever were.
