While.

Larry: tell me what the meeting was like? Did you meet them together?

Yes.

Larry: where did it occur, natalie, and what happened?

It occurred at the office of one legacy, which is the organization that handles organ transplants.

Larry: who was there first?

We were there, first, actually. I was there with my girlfriend, tammy, and my manager, barbara, I can't even remember who was there.

Larry: were you nervous?

Was pam there?

Larry: no, were you nervous?

Were as I nervous? I was stunned. I just thought that the whole thing was just -- it was very overwhelming. It was a very emotional time, especially because patty and I already had so much in common. We had both lost our sisters, you know, so I knew how she felt already.

Larry: that's weird. You lose a sister, she loses a sister, her loss is your kidney. This is a bad novel.

It is. It's a really, really very strange, but wonderful catastrophe.

Larry: yeah.

You know?

Larry: what was your first emotion, patty?

Well, at first, I was scared, not because natalie's a famous star, but just because I wanted to know if I was going to feel the connection with my sister. And immediately, I felt that.

Larry: you did?

Oh, yes, immediately. As soon as I hugged her, I felt my sister living in her. It was so emotional.

Larry: do you remember ester as a nurse in the hospital wm ?

Oh, yes, I do.

Larry: who would not remember ester?

And -- and my girlfriend, Tammy, they really got along very well, and short-term e remembered ester when we walked into the room, even more than I did. She said, I remember you, you were the nurse that day! So it was just like, oh, wow. You just never know how you're gonna impress people.
