A happy O'Malley family of four sisters, one brother, father and
mother, lived in a row house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The
smallest, youngest, and favorite of all was Doris. However, her
life changed dramatically at age eleven, and her family and others
were devastated. We were heading to the mall when I realized she
was not moving. The ambulance was called and in those days there
were no MRI, and little other than x-ray, so at first we didn't
know what happened to my little sister. Finally the diagnosis of
nephritis was made, and Doris was put on penicillin for one year,
but this horrible disease struck again. Soon it was evident that we
were in for the long battle; and Doris' lonely, challenging journey
began. Prayer, confidence, and an unyielding mother's love brought
Doris to a healing. The determined girl then took matters into her
own hands. First, off to school for her elementary certificate,
followed by a high school diploma. Then, some financial support,
she graduated as a licensed vocational nurse. At age of 42, Doris
proudly walked across the stage and received her diploma, with
perfect attendance. She was now able to go out into the world
beaming and independent. Tragically, endometrial cancer crept
unrecognized into the single girl's life. It spread to a full blown
cancer death, but to the very end, Doris still flashed the V for
victory sign... even on her death bed. Together, my little sister
and I walked through the dark passages and right into the light as
the angels swept her away on November 20, 1992. Read this
remarkable, inspiring story of loss, faith, and the fighting spirit
of Doris O'Malley.
