Bill, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss but encouraged at the faith and courage with which your friend faced her final challenge. God undoubtably has a special spot for people like Joyce who minister to the rest of us with their faith in the face of illness. Never apologize for the time it takes to share a story like this.

By the way, it's amazing isn't it that an instrument that is frequently reviled can be such a source of comfort and inspiration.
