Went to go meet up with the BBK Runners this morning and there was a Firetruck blocking my driveway! I didnt even hear him pull up! I went out to find why thinking my house was on fire and saw an ambulance in the neighbors driveway. I went over to see what was up and found that a really good friend whose family is into running and biking and just being so full of life, died! I was devestated at the news that she had flu like symptoms and it is just so sad!  She is 37 years and left behind a 14 year old son and a husband.  I spent the morning mourning and then went to the school to pull my daughters out because they were close to her and were really struggling. Life is to short my friends! Especially if your life is taken at a young age! It makes you grab your loved ones and hold them tight!

That is really sad; I feel bad for the family and am sorry about the loss your neighborhood is going through right now. You're right - it does make you want to reach out and give extra hugs to your loved ones.

That is so sad! I'm sorry for the loss of your good friend and neighbor...so young! Yes, life is so fragile. Does make you hold your loved ones a little tighter. I'm gonna tell mine that I love them! Hope you and yours find some comfort and peace!

Whoa...really sorry to hear such bad news. Really puts life in perspective...my prayers go out to you and the family.

Cookie legs, Thanks for that. Its a blow to the neighborhood for sure.

Smooth, Its more shocking when its so sudden like this.

Rockness, thank you so much. I appreciate that. It does bring your friends and family closer with tragedy.

So sad. I think I used to work with her husband. He's a great guy and feel so bad that this happened.
