Default Not sure...just sharing

Not sure if I should post this here, but I just wanted to share...

This morning, a friend of mine passed away after telling his wife he wasn't feeling 100% when he woke up. As the morning progressed, his health rapidly declined and they rushed him to the hospital where he died in the ER.

They're not sure what happened..

....I had just spoke with him last night discussing where the 4 of us would like to go out for our monthly dinner...tonight.

He was only 57 years old CPA, married with 2 kids and several grand kids.

You just never know....you never know. God bless Jeff and his family.

Sincerest condolences to you, to his family, and for your friend Jeff. I realize that time is relative to many but that seems way too young to pass so unexpectedly. Will offer my prayers, too.
