I am just having a hard day. One of my friends from where I work was found dead in her bed yesterday after not showing up for her night shift. She was 27 years old and it looks like she died in her sleep. She was getting healthier as the days went by. She did gastric bypass (about 4 months ago) we talked about that a lot (I'm over weight and that thing was just not for me. Her diabetes was better controlled, she was off her BP medication something is just inherantly wrong when a 27 year old dies in her sleep. Not that I want her die a horrible death but I want there to be a reason. She was a tell it like it was person, she cursed during reprt that was just who she was. She was trying to better herself by getting her bachelors I will miss you and not ever forget you. I'm so sorry you are gone:crying2: :crying2: :crying2: :crying2:

You have left certainly before your time. I'm waiting for my phone to ring with news that it was just a big misunderstanding but I know better. You are up in heaven helping out. Doing what you love.

I'm so sorry for your pain. I too lost a best buddy-only 40- recently. Cry as much as you need to,talk as much as you need to. You can do all kinds of good things in her name and memory. She was so fortunate to have a friend such as you:)

I am sorry for your loss.

Losing a friend is hard, especially when the friend is so young.

I lost a 15 year old friend and a 19 year old friend growing up.

Not big on crying, but that'll do it.

I keep their pictures and try to remember their spirits, and how lucky I am to have a new day, good or 'bad'.

I wish you well.

My sincere condolences on the loss for your friend.

We are going to be doing a memorial at work in a couple of days it is just so hard for all of us. I mean if she had died in a car accident we would still all be sad but there would be a reason. 27 year olds are NOT supposed to die in their sleep. Anyway thank you for all your thoughts.

My heart goes out to you. May the Lord comfort you in your time of loss. Remember He is Always with those whom believe.
