I hope to enjoy however many days I have on this beautiful Earth and spend as much of it outside as I can surrounded by those I love.

I feel very fortunate to go surrounded by love. I'm proud of the life I lived.

I believe this choice is ethical, and what makes it ethical is it is a choice.

To have control of my own mind... to go with dignity is less terryfying. When I look at both options I have to die, I feel this is far more humane.

The thoughts that go through your mind when you find out you have so little time is everything that you need to say to everyone that you love.

I won't live to see the death-with-dignity movement reach critical mass, but I call on you to carry it forward.

Having the choice at the end of my life has become incredibly important. It has given me a sense of peace during a time that otherwise would be dominated by fear, uncertainty and pain.
