Judy and Sol talked for hours a day, 2 weeks straight, and were laughing, crying, and enjoying themselves. Alex, Laurie, and Judy sat by Sol’s side as his heart rate monitor was going crazy, and his last phrases were telling Judy to be happy, Alex to kiss Laurie (and her to kiss him back), and giving Alex a tip on how to make guitar strings last longer.
