I find myself in tears. Others are crying and wiping their eyes. The lights come on and Quill asks for questions. A heavy man with curly dark hair hurries to the microphone. He introduces himself as a rabbi and says he has read Quill's book A Midwife Through the Dying Process .

People squirm as if icy water has been sloshed over us. Quill stares at the rabbi. The rabbi stands in silence for a moment, then sits down. Jules lived much longer than he ever thought he could because he had control. He had a choice.
