While Natalie Cole was getting a new kidney, her sister died

In a ridiculous sad story, Natalie Cole's sister Carol died on Monday afternoon after refusing to undergo chemotherapy when doctors found a cancerous spot on her lung. The even sadder part is that Natalie never got to say goodbye. She was by Carol's side comforting her when she got a call on Monday afternoon that they had a kidney for her. Natalie didn't want to go, but doctors told her she had to make it to Cedars-Sinai hospital within two hours or she wouldn't be able to get the kidney. So she went. And when she came out of the successful surgery, she learned that Carol died.

That's a really sad story. One sister gets a new lease on life while the other one loses hers. Can't help but feel bad for Natalie, and I really hope that she doesn't beat herself up over choosing to get the kidney over staying by Carol's side. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Cole family.
