Joyce

Joyce died last night! (12 March 2023)
If it hadn't been for Gary warning me yesterday that she was in dire straights I would have been completely blindsided. Last time I saw her, some weeks ago, she was doing fine. She had rallied back from the heart problems and I was joking that she would outlive us all. But according to Sam/Gary she took a turn for the worse last Wednesday. Quit eating. Gary told us last night that he thought she had only a few days left - how right he was!

Liz/Gary visited her last evening. They reported that she was still making jokes. It seems like Joyce didn't know she was going to die? It doesn't matter - it seems like a good exit!

I like to say that Joyce and I were happily divorced. There was some trauma around the divorce but later we were good friends. I'm sorry not to have visited her in her last weeks - maybe I could have provided some contact. Held her hand...
