Very sorry to here such terrible news. I think we all know how quickly things can change in a flash. Whoever said that life should be fair hasn't lived. Once I realized that life is not fair, I live each day like it is my last...

Sorry for your loss.

Very sorry here also zap. I think we must all tell our loved ones how we feel every day. My ex-wife(whom I was still very close too) had a bad headache on a Friday evening 11 years ago last weekend. She passed away from an aneuyrism that sunday(Mothers Day!) and our daughter was 6 at the time. She has grown to be an incredible young lady and I tell her I love her every day. God bless you and yours.

Aw, I'm sorry, zap. That's awful... It always scares me when life is put in perspective, you know? Just the fact that we are all capable of leaving this world at any time is scary...

Zap, I too would like to offer condolences and prayers. Such a terrible waste when good people are lost in such a horrific way.
