I can't believe it's been that long ago. The time just flies. I'm at work and had gotten an email about them having lots of medical expences and that she was in the hospital. A fund is being set up for them now. So, I had called her house to speak to her husband to find out if she could have visitors or not. His mom answered the phone and said he was sleeping, that he hadn't slept in days. So I asked her if Joy could have visitors. There was a pause and then she asked me if I knew how serious it was. I told her no. Joy has been on life support and they don't know how the next few days are going to go. I was so upset that I couldn't say anything and had to try to keep from crying. I've been friends with her since I started working back in 1983. We didn't see each other much outside of work. I remember making a blanket for her daughter who is now about 7 I think. I attended the baby shower. She's been ill for so many years(I'm guessing around 15) and finally had to retire a few years ago. She's always been just a people person and really lives up to her name. I am so sorry she's had this trouble. She's too good a person to have to have suffered like this. I've got to commend her husband because he's stood by her throughout it all. I'm hoping she'll make it through this. I feel horrible, too, because one night a few months ago. I was busy and never called her back. Now I may never get to see her again. I am so thankful I got to give her that drawing of Amy's. I got a pic and I will see if I can put it here. It made them both so happy.
