We are in shock - well a little less than when we first heard.
50 years old and seemed to be quite healthy - felt sick at work, came home and apparently died as she napped in her recliner. Her youngest son found her.
Mrs. Lib nearly died from an aneurism 32 years ago. She was fortunate to be in the hospital at the time and a doctor was walking by her room.
All that to say, if you have a good deed you've been thinking of doing, someone you want to tell you love, don't put it off.
I know people will be offering their support. For that I thank you in advance. This is one of the best collection of folks I have ever run into.
I probably won't be around much for a week, will stop in briefly for some relief. But this one will be incredibly hard.

from one of my favorite songs:
Time it was, and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you

It seems especially hard when it's someone so young and something so unexpected.

(28,394 posts)I know what you are going through as we lost my sister recently. When such a young person dies unexpectedly, the grief is almost unbearable. Your advice to show our love and kindness to others while we have them with is cannot be repeated enough. There is no going back, that's for sure.
I wish your family strength and solace at this terrible time. Just heart-breaking.

You folks are a good family.
They did not do an autopsy. All signs point to heart attack.
Once more thank you all.
