Holly and Patrick, thank you....
How sad. aneurysm is an enlarged, then wall-weakened vessel/ artery, that may press on other parts, in this case, of brain. If/when it bursts, there are different outcomes, often depending on how quickly the person is found/can be transported.

No matter how old I become, I am still moved/shocked/made sad/thrown into prayer... I'm not sure it's because of the suddenness of death--I've seen so much --- I think maybe more like being made sad-tender realizing again and again the evanescence of life.

May "Miss Stephanie" rest in peace. And especially, may her loved ones who are no doubt numb for the moment, be comforted in every way possible

Sil, do you think you could possibly, maybe, kinda sorta leave the damn issue for a hot second? Y'know, at least until the body cools. Unbelievable…

My thoughts are with the friends and family and the people of Ohio whom she served. My congratulations to them for making this tragedy serve others through organ donations.

That's too bad. She was an avid Clinton supporter in spite of enormous pressure to cleave, especially from the black caucus. She reluctantly only gave up the fight when she thought it was lost in June.

She had strong convictions and stood by them. A living lesson to all of us.

Thanks Patrick! I spotted the story earlier but sent it to Jill because she is in Cleveland.
