I worked with one extensively for about 16 years though we didn't work in the same office. She apparently had a heart attack or stroke. I honestly can't believe I will never talk to her again.
The other was killed when she was taking a walk and was clipped by the side mirror of a passing jeep. Suffered a catastrophic head injury.
She was tiny but fierce. She was looking forward to retiring in September. She was a world traveler, loved concerts and the theater. It's just so heartbreaking.
Both were proud active Democrats. Just gone.
Life is not fair.

It shakes our world to lose others suddenly.
Heartbreak is the price of love.
Hope you will take extra care of yourself at this difficult time. {{{{ }}}}}
