How absolutely dreadful for the family, neighbours and friends. Was it a sudden illness or had she taken her own life? I wouldn't be able to take it in either if I was you ...... we live in the town where the ex policeman stabbed his wife and young daughter to death and then himself, two weeks ago. His two older children were seriously injured and are still in hospital - just think what they are going through, knowing what their normally loving Dad has done. It breaks our hearts in this town.
