TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY:

I HAVE SPOKEN TO SOME OF YOU PERSONALLY AND HAVE NOT HAD THE TIME TO KEEP 
OTHERS OF YOU WELL-INFORMED ABOUT JOSIE.  FIRST I WANT TO SAY HOW MUCH THE 
LOVE AND CONCERN FOR HER AND FOR MYSELF HAS MEANT.  JOSIE IS VERY VERY ILL 
AND IS CURRENTLY IN A REHABILITATION CENTER IN NYC.  I HAVE JUST RETURNED 
FROM NY WHERE I SPENT 10 DAYS CARING FOR HER, TALKING TO HER, AND 
TRANSITIONING HER FROM HER 3 WEEK HOSPITAL STAY TO THE FLORENCE NIGHTENGALE 
HEALTH CENTER, A NURSING HOME WITH A REHABILITATION WING.  LACK OF TIME AND 
MY OWN LIMITED EMOTIONAL RESERVES HAS PREVENTED ME FROM BEING IN TOUCH.  I 
THINK THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO KEEP EVERYONE IN THE LOOP.  I WILL BACK UP A 
LITTLE BIT, JOSIE HAS HAD THE MOST PRODUCTIVE AND REMARKABLE SIX MONTHS PRIOR 
TO BEING HOSPITALIZED, SHE SPENT THE FALL IN TEXAS DIRECTING A NEW MUSICAL, 
STOPPED AT HOME JUST FOR A MINUTE BEFORE SHE WAS OFF TO RICHMOND, VA. TO 
DIRECT A PRODUCTION OF 'WIT' AT THE VA. MUSEUM THEATRE. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO 
ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE PLAY IT IS THE STORY OF A WOMAN DYING OF CANCER, 
HER WORK WAS HEROIC AND AMAZING AND THE PRODUCTION BECAME ONE OF THE BIG HITS 
OF THE THEATRE, THIS WAS THE SAME THEATRE OUR MOTHER TOOK JOSIE AND I AS 
CHILDREN. MY FAMILY AND I JOINED JOSIE IN RICHMOND OVER THE XMAS HOLIDAYS SO 
JOSIE AND I COULD TAKE A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE AND SHOW MY CHILDREN WHERE MOM 
AND AUNT JOSIE GREW UP. SHE CAME BACK TO NY IN FEB. AND WAS OFF AGAIN TO 
SARASOTA FLORIDA TO DIRECT A PRODUCTION OF THE ALLERGIST WIFE AT HER ALMA 
MATER THE ASOLO THEATRE WHERE SHE GOT HER MFA.  BEFORE SHE WENT TO FLORIDA 
HER WONDERFUL DOCTOR WAS NOT CRAZY ABOUT THE IDEA OF JOSIE TRAVELING AND 
WORKING AGAIN AS HER DISEASE WAS PROGRESSING, ALTHOUGH SLOWLY, HE FELT SHE 
SHOULD BE IN THE SAFETY ZONE OF HER HOME AND DOCTORS.  SHE WOULD HAVE NONE OF 
IT AND TOLD HIM SHE WANTED TO BE DEFINED BY HER WORK NOT BY BEING A PATIENT. 
HE WAS SO IMPRESSED BY HER COURAGE AND DETERMINATION HE MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR 
HER TO GO. HE ADJUSTED HER TREATMENT AND SET UP A RELATIONSHIP WITH A FLORIDA 
ONCOLOGIST TO STAND IN FOR HIM.  TWO DAYS BEFORE THAT PRODUCTION OPENED JOSIE 
WAS GIVING NOTES TO HER CAST AND SHE STOPPED MAKING SENSE, THE ARTISTIC 
DIRECTOR OF THE THEATRE RUSHED HER TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL THEY COULD ONLY 
TREAT HER SUPERFICIALLY AS THEY HAD NO HISTORY WITH HER, BUT THE INITIAL 
REASON FOR HER BLACKOUT WAS SHE HAD DEVELOPED INSULIN DEPENDENT DIABETES AS A 
RESULT OF THE MASSIVE STEROIDS SHE WAS TAKING, SHE REMAINED IN THE HOSPITAL 
UNTIL SHE WAS STABILIZED AND WAS RELEASED SO SHE COULD GO TO HER OPENING 
NIGHT AND SEE THE WONDERFUL WORK SHE HAD DONE.  JANE OUR FAMILY ANGEL, SAM'S 
WIFE WENT DOWN TO FLORIDA TO HELP JOSIE IN THE HOSPITAL.  SHE THEN RETURNED 
TO NY WHERE HER DOCTOR EVALUATED HER AND TOLD HER THE TREATMENT WAS NO LONGER 
WORKING AND HE HAD NO MORE GOOD OPTIONS FOR HER.  HE OFFERED ONLY A LONG 
SHOT, WHICH WAS ANOTHER BRUTAL COURSE OF RADIATION ON HER LARGEST BRAIN 
TUMORS.  IT WAS MADE CLEAR THIS TREATMENT WOULD NOT PROLONG HER LIFE BUT  
MIGHT IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF HER LIFE.  I WENT TO NY TO BE WITH HER IN THE 
MIDDLE OF MARCH, I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW INFIRM SHE HAD BECOME, SHE HAD TROUBLE  
WALKING AND PERFORMING DAILY TASKS OF LIVING BUT SHE AND I HAD A GREAT WEEK 
TOGETHER, SHE WAS ALL JOSIE, IT WAS JUST THAT I HAD TO BE HER LEGS AND ARMS 
FOR THE TIME BEING. SHE WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE RADIATION AND HELD OUT 
GREAT HOPE THAT SHRINKING THE TUMORS, WHICH WERE PRESSING ON HER MOTOR 
CENTERS, WOULD REINSTATE SOME MOBILITY.  IT WAS CLEAR HOWEVER SHE COULD NOT 
GO IT ALONE AND SO BEFORE I LEFT I HIRED A WONDERFUL WOMAN FOR CUSTODIAL 
CARE. I COULD NOT BELIEVE ONLY WEEKS EARLIER SHE HAD BEEN WORKING AND IT 
SEEMED WE GOT TO THIS PLACE SO QUICKLY, I DESCRIBED IT AS THE ELEVATOR 
DROPPED TEN FLOORS IN A MATTER OF WEEKS, BUT THIS CAN BE THE COURSE OF THIS 
HIDEOUS DISEASE. THE PLAN WHEN I LEFT WAS FOR JOSIE TO BE AN OUTPATIENT 
THROUGHOUT THE 10 DAY RADIATION THERAPY AND THEN WE WOULD SEE, ON THE DAY SHE 
WAS SUPPOSED TO GO FOR HER FIRST TREATMENT HER COMPANION WAS COMING AT 11AM 
TO ESCORT HER TO THE DOCTOR AND WHEN THERE WAS NO ANSWER IN HER APARTMENT GOT 
THE DOORMAN TO LET HER IN, JOSIE HAD FALLEN IN THE BATHROOM AND HAD BEEN 
LYING THERE FOR FOUR HOURS WAITING FOR HELP, AFTER THAT SHE WAS ADMITTED TO 
THE HOSPITAL, THAT WAS APRIL 10TH SHE WAS MEDICALLY STABLE BUT NEOROLOGICALLY 
UNSTABLE SO IT WAS THE SAFEST PLACE FOR HER WHILE HAVING THIS TREATMENT, I 
WENT BACK TO NY ON APRIL 17TH TO BE WITH HER IN THE HOSPITAL AND TO BRING HER 
BACK TO HER APARTMENT WHEN TREATMENT WAS COMPLETE.  AGAIN IN JUST A MATTER OF 
WEEKS HER DECLINE WAS PROFOUND.  HER DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT THE RESPONSE TO THE
TREATMENT AND THE PROGRESSION OF THE DISEASE HAVE THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AND 
HE COULD NOT DETERMINE WHETHER HER STATE WAS DUE TO BRAIN SWELLING FROM THE 
RADIATION AND STEROID POISONING OR FROM THE DISEASE AGGRESSIVELY OVERTAKING 
HER, SO AGAIN A WAIT AND SEE.  SHE WAS SO DISABLED HOWEVER I FELT I COULD NOT 
CARE FOR HER AT HER APARTMENT EVEN WITH HOME HEALTH AIDS SO WE DECIDED TO 
TAKE A TRANSITION PERIOD IN A REHAB CENTER WHERE IF THE TREATMENT WAS GOING 
TO BENEFIT HER SHE COULD START DOING EXERCISES TO GET STRONGER.  I TOLD HER 
BECAUSE SHE HADN'T GONE TO THE GYM ALL HER LIFE NOW SHE HAD TO GO TO SLEEP 
AWAY GYM.  AS ALWAYS SHE WAS GAME AND SAID SHE WANTED TO TRY AND GET BETTER.

IN ORDER TO GET ONE OF THESE BEDS IN REHAB YOU MUST PARTICIPATE IN THE 
PROGRAM, IT MEANS GOING DOWN TO A GYM TWICE A DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK AND PUSHING  
YOURSELF.  IN THEIR INSTITUTIONAL WAY THEY KEPT THREATENING JOSIE THEY WERE 
GOING TO KICK HER OUT OF REHAB IF SHE DIDN'T KEEP UP I SPENT A HELLISH FEW 
DAYS LETTING THEM KNOW THE KIND OF PERSON AND PATIENT MY BIG SISTER IS, FOR 
SIX YEARS SHE HAD NEVER REFUSED ANY TREATMENT, SHE HAS NEVER COMPLAINED, SHE 
HAS NEVER BEEN A VICTIM, SHE HAS NEVER FELT SORRY FOR HERSELF SHE HAS JUST 
SAID TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO TO GET BETTER AND I WILL DO IT.  SO THAT 
BRINGS YOU UP TO DATE SHE HAS BEEN IN REHAB A WEEK, THE PHONE NUMBER IS 
212-360-0515 AND THE ADDRESS IS 1760 THIRD AVE. IN NYC.  THE CORNER OF 97TH 
AND THIRD.  HER ROOM IS 515. IT HAS BEEN A WEEK SINCE TREATMENT AND NOW A 
DETERMINATION CAN BE MADE IF THERE WAS ANY BENEFIT, I JUST BACK TO LA. 
TOMORROW SHE WILL SEE HER DOCTOR AND I BELIEVE JOSIE WILL NOT REBOUND AS HAD 
BEEN HOPED EVEN TEMPORARILY.  BUT THAT IS JUST MY GUESS, IN ANY EVENT JOSIE 
IS AT ENDSTAGE DISEASE AND FOR HOWEVER LONG AND WHERE SHE LIVES OUT HER LIFE 
I WANTED YOU ALL TO KNOW HOW AMAZING SHE IS AND HAS BEEN.  IT IS EASY TO 
BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE SHE HAS BRAIN CANCER HER THINKING IS UNRELIABLE I DON'T 
BELIEVE THAT I BELIEVE IF YOU PRESS YOUR EARS AND HEARTS VERY CLOSE TO HER  
YOU CAN STILL HEAR HER WILL AND HER WISHES.  SO IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU CAN DO 
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO ASK HER.  IF YOU CAN'T REACH HER I WILL TRY AND GUIDE YOU 
BUT SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE THE DIRECTOR. AND IN TERMS OF ME 
WHAT CAN YOU DO, JUST LOOK FOR THE BEST IN THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE, FIND A WAY 
BACK TO THE ONES YOU ARE ESTRANGED FROM JOSIE AND I ALMOST MISSED EACH OTHER 
AND IF I CAN SAY THERE IS ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT THIS NIGHTMARE IT GAVE ME 
TIME TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH I LOVE JOSIE HOW MUCH SHE MEANS TO ME AND HOW 
GRATEFUL I AM TO BE ABLE TO LET HER KNOW HOW MUCH I WILL MISS HER WHEN SHE IS 
GONE.  I AM PLANNING ON GOING BACK TO NYC ON MAY 14TH YOU CAN REACH ME AT 
323-935-4600 IN LA, ON MY CELL AT 323-314-1907 IN LA OR NY PLEASE SHARE THIS 
WITH JOSIE PEOPLE I MAY HAVE LEFT OUT OR DON'T KNOW HOW TO REACH. LOVE TO ALL 

CAROLINE.
