[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Joyce Kane's death

[slery]

I am pretty sure it was congestive heart failure. She was having the 
symptoms and trying to get into her doctor but having a terrible time 
getting an appointment. She then had some kind of episode and her 
daughter found her by her bed. She was in the hospital for several weeks 
and then transferred to a rehab center because she couldn't get out of 
bed. After being at the rehab center, her oxygen tanked and they sent 
her back to the hospital. The last time I talked with her she was 
finally improving and capable of talking to me. I am not sure if she had 
any more good days after that. She was also a diabetic and that is a 
real struggle in hospitals. I am sharing because that is the kind of 
person she was. No one was a stranger for long.

Another member (already passed), did lead her to the Lord. She lived the 
life of a servant long before knowing Christ.
