It's all about choice and doing what is best for you. Noreen lived her life fully until it ended, at a time and in a manner of her choosing. She was engaged with her family and with her community, as her health allowed. She was at peace about dying because she knew she didn't have to suffocate horribly at the end. How more dignified can that be? She was passionate about choice and an outstanding advocate for "the vulnerable," who she described as people ignorant of their rights. Thank you for this feature of this inspiring woman. Everyone I have met who knew Noreen professionally has held her in the highest regard.
