Then,approximately one month after the motorcycle accident,we got(50)C frantic phone call.David stated he did not know(51)Dto do.He was in the hospital with his wife who suffered a(52)D heart attack.We quickly went to the hospital to (53)Aany kind of help we could.Unfortunately,it was too late.Judy was in critical condition and she soon (54)B away.Still in a state of shock,David(55)Ame if I could deliver his wife's eulogy( 悼词).1felt very honored,and(56)CI was very sad.
Now,David had suffered two huge losses--his son's accident and his wife's death.On the surface,David (57)Bto act like things were going okay.However,they weren't.I tried to talk to him,but in the beginning,he would not"let me in".(58)D,he is doing better.The losses he has experienced are huge,(59)CDavid is a fighter.He was"knockcked down",but David will never allow himself to be"knocked out."True,David Jones is a great painter,but,more importantly,he is a great man.I feel (60)Bto be able to call him my friend.
