Time to Change the Will, Dad

from Today's Papers (Slate):

The president of the 16,000-member Michael Jackson Fan Club, a Texan legal secretary named Deborah Dannelly, is leading prayer vigils, tap dancing, and other festivities at a rally on behalf of the pop star. She almost missed the activities because her father suffered a stroke and is in poor health. She said the sudden illness was "almost a wake-up call to say you have to stand by the people that you love," and so Dannelly decided to leave her father and travel to Jackson's trial.
