For those of you who may have known Jen.

Ah crap . . . really?  I haven't seen her in a couple years, she was a lot of fun.

She and her husband were part of the group I go to roller derby with. It was very unexpected. We're all still a bit shocked by it.

Any idea what happenned?

I had a dear friend die about 2 months ago from a rare and rapidly moving infection.

Felt fine in the AM.
Felt sick enough to go to hospital at noon.
Coma by 230.
Dead by 7pm.

No one saw it coming.

[MissBubu]

What I was told was that she was recovering from a bad cold and had an asthma attack.

Sad.  How terrifying for both of them!

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend.  Sending hugs.
