(It sounds like I was the only one who didn't know her though, if virtually. There's no time enough to reach out to everyone in this hectic life, is there?). Such a tragedy, but from what I heard, she was a brave soul. And I'm sure she left a mark. Her family though...those little kids. I hope her husband has a loving family and friends to help him cope and take care of them!<br /><br />Look at you, all grown up.
