It's so sad when someone so young passes.  I hope there were no drugs or alcohol involved.

I have one hand that's mostly paralyzed, so I understand how difficult typing can be.

Another site says 'natural causes' are said to be responsible.  I say we wait for the medical examiner's report.  May she rest in peace.  That poor family....
