I am in shock

[candygramme]

One of my best friends has just died.

For those of you who knew sharonmarais, her husband, John just called me to tell me of her death and ask me to let people in fandom know.

She had the bug that all of us have been fighting off. Felt a little better and returned to work (in a hospital no less) and then felt really horrid on Thursday night. She went to the docs, who told her it was just a virus and to go home and rest.

It was meningitis, and it killed her. She died yesterday at 2:15pm UK time in the hospital at Cambridge.

If you wish to send a sympathy card, let me know by email alyosha303 at gmail dot com, and I will send you the mailing address.

Sue, I am so very sorry for your loss.

This is Jacki, BTW.

Hi, Jacki! Thanks for the message. How are things with you? It's been a while.

I'm better. It has been a while since I've been about. How are you?

Good in parts. Husband is really losing health, and he is grouchy and nasty because of it, but that isn't his fault; it's just tiresome. I now have a grandson, and he occupies a lot of my time. Other than that, pretty much the same as usual.

I know how he feels. I've spent two years like that. But it's so hard on all the people around the person who is sick. :(

I have one of those little guys, myself, though he isn't quite so little, anymore. They're so much fun.
