I also echo the sentiments about your sister. As far as the shingles go, I just recently got the vaccine, but it is only FDA approved (as far as I know --- I am a pediatrician) for 50 and up.
I am sure it is safe in 30 year olds, but the CDC recommends vaccines based on risk/benefit and when it does the greatest good. So, they aren't going to recommend a vaccine for someone with a chance of 1:1000 with documented Varicella disease in the past compared to a much higher risk in 50s and 60s. But, it does excist, and I am sure 30 year olds could get it, but it won't be in MU.
Your pictures are awesome.
