If her sisters do not have NF they will not pass it to their children.

Thanks to children like your niece more folks know about NF than ever before. The NF community rejoiced when the disorder became a subplot in an episode of Bones this season. One of the writers has a child with NF2 and the show gave facts right from the Children's Tumor Foundation.

The best thing we can do to honor her memory is to make even more folks aware of NF and what better place than right here at DU? Each May folks could change that avatar to an NF avatar. If they would do that for one week that would show compassion.
