It is always particularly tough when the deceased is young and well-liked and the death is sudden. I went with 400 other mourners to a memorial service Thursday evening -- one of my wife's friends died abruptly from a ruptured abdominal aneurism, just shy of her 60th birthday, while on a ski trip with her high school sweetheart husband of 40 years and their children. She was a fit, health-conscious, warm and giving person who will be missed by all who knew her.
You have my sincere condolences -- I really do know how you feel.
