Cathy Wurzer's MPR News series of reports about Bruce Kramer, the former St. Thomas dean who was diagnosed with ALS in 2010, offered radio listeners a candid and thoughtful look at life and how it ends. 

After scores of interviews and more than three dozen radio stories for MPR News, Kramer and Wurzer released a book of his reflections on disease, vocation, faith, relationships, and coming to terms with death.
