“And I just wasn’t sure that’s what I really heard,

because two weeks before, another friend had passed away from an aneurysm in her sleep…

so I was still thinking about Elaine dying in her sleep, so I didn’t expect two weeks later

to get a call from Stephanie saying that Nancy passed away.

I just couldn’t believe that’s what I’d heard.

I still think about it, and that was 2005.

I still think about it, and it’s like

‘That really happened.’”
