Rough week

I lost two friends and colleagues this week. Bettye lost her fight
with cancer after a long and difficult time. Her memorial service was
yesterday. Her husband, and her children spoke about her life
beautifully. She was survived by six of her siblings, three kids, and
a dozen grandkids.

Jennifer was only 40 and believed to be healthy. She died very
suddenly while helping her husband get the kids ready for school on
Friday. We've only worked together for a year but she was my partner
in the training that we've been doing. She'd become a close friend and
a source of support for me.

Right now I'm taking the boys trick or treating but I keep thinking
about her kids. Then I start crying again. Luckily the boys are too
focused on the guy with the King sized Snickers bars to notice.
