That is one powerful story.

“Did Hillary make it?” she asked once more, her words trailing, her voice almost inaudible. Looking at the fading light in her eyes, as her boney hand stretched out from her hospice bed, I considered how to respond. Do I tell her the truth? Hillary’s poll numbers are looking positive, but the election is not in the bag.

It was what Marie Urbanski Whittaker had been waiting for her entire life. Within minutes, she was gone.

Rest in Peace, Ms. Whittaker.
