robbo Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Sorry to hear that Bill, it makes you feel vulnerable when you hear things like that, I get to feeling that I am on borrowed time \ \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thanks Mike yes it is so horrible when someone younger than yourself dies.

She sufferred a viral attack to her heart and although I forget the name it is very rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Ironic isn't it. Hearing news like that always made me think "Christ, that's younger/similar age to Mum and Dad." Nowadays it's "Christ that isn't much older tham me!" Where does the time go! All the best for Friday, Bill. Hope the children get by ok.

BC Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thanks Tris. Yes it is the children you feel really sorry for. Mind you they have their mum and have both set of grandparents and Donna's mum and dad stay in the same village as her. Not the sort of day off I want to take but one has to.

richo Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Sorry to hear that Bill, it makes you feel vulnerable when you hear things like that, I get to feeling that I am on borrowed time \ \ \ It certainly does make you think! A couple of months ago a friend of mine was sitting next to me, one minute he was fine the next thing he had collapsed on the floor and that was that! Heart attack out of the blue. He was incredibly fit and healthy and only 25! Not something I want to experiance again. Just no warning was the shocking thing chatting normaly then dead, very sad. Talking to his parents soon after was probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
