  From a CNN interview:
  

  As she sits in her office surrounded by those memories, she says it's now more urgent than ever that she add her own chapter to his story.
  
  She's the only one left.
  
  "I thought about all that I've been through and all these memories and sometimes it gets tough," she said. "By being the lone survivor, if I don't do this, a part of history will be left out."
