Two sisters closer than most in Venice Florida, have shared more than most sisters would ever dream of. Jackie DeVita and Colleen Leary are sisters both working in doctors offices one has a family and one doesn't. Jackie is married to a wonderful man Richard DeVita is a doctor in FL. he has a thriving practice a nice home and 3 beautiful children. The sisters worked together in Richards practice for many years. Colleen stayed single this whole time she is now 42 years old. Her sister was diagnosed with a brain tumor that ended up being very fatal. She as her dying wish asked her sister to take her place, with her children and her husband, she gave her sister her wedding ring. Her sister died shortly there after, 3 months after her death her sister and her husband got married. Most people understood, they knew the sisters were very close and Jackie loved her family very much. So for her sister to take her place was the natural thing for her to do.The children where fine with it, most of the family of the Leary sisters were understanding. The people who did have a problem with it mostly were upset with the time between Jackie's death and the marriage of Colleen and Richard. The family says that everything has worked out for the best and they are happy.
When I first read this I was like no way would I share my life with my sister, mostly I would not like it if my sister married my husband should I die prematurly. However I don't have the complete bond that these sisters had with my sisters. But if I did I would most certainly pick my sister rather than a stranger take over my life. I am glad that in the end these sisters found peace in a time that would usually tare a family apart they found happiness in knowing that their life would go on in the brink of sadness.
