Sonny Lang was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) when she was only 13 months old. At age four she was the youngest CF patient to successfully receive heart and lung transplants. She died 2 days ago, living against all odds to the age of 23. Breathe easy, Sonny.

Breathe easy, Sonny Lang. ???? Cystic fibrosis may have shortened your life, but it did not lessen its fullness. Rest in peace.
