How devastating. My sincerest sympathies to Barbara and her family. I have just come home from a memorial service for my brother in law, who dropped dead while playing basketball last year at Thanksgiving. It is also the first anniversary of the death off a 14 yr old friend of my son, who caught a cold and died of heart complications - also totally unexpected no-one suspected he had a heart defect - a normal healthy kid they thought. And i just heard that a nighbourhood kid, 15 yrs old was killed last weekend when his bike collided with a truck - totally senseless! it makes one wonder. Sorry for being so morbid, but they were all so young?
