Please, t&p (long, sorry...)

Yesterday morning I got a call first thing this morning that my old college roommate passed away. There were four of us that lived together for 2 yes and I still can't believe it. It hasn't really hit me yet. She lived in Chicago and one of our other roommates lives here by me, the last one in VA.

She hasn't been feeling well the past week or so. She's had asthma before but I don't know if it had to do with that. All I know is that she was with her boyfriend (Jimmy) and they were about to to to bed and she had a seizure. As far as I know that was her first. She came to it and they called the ambulance and when they got there they thought she was just having a panic attack. Jimmy had to go upstairs to let the dog out (they locked it in the room with the EMT's were there) and I guess she took a turn for the worst because they just left without him. She had another seizure in the hospital and her heart stopped. They tried to revive her for 2 hours. She passed at 3:30am.

Quick note - Jimmy had been planning on purposing to Lindsay (my friend) next weekend at a big cook out with family and friends he planned. They talked about getting married and even started making plans but it wasn't official yet. As he went in to say his final goodbyes in the hospital room, he got down on one knee, asked her to be his wife and to have his kids. He hoped it would make her happy as she went to heaven. Jimmy kept saying he wished it had been him to go b/c Lindsay's too good of a person. He said he's waiting for her to come sit next to him and tell him it'll be okay.

She was such a wonderful person - FULL of life. She just finished her masters. She has had so much guy drama in the past and she finally found the guy she was supposed to be with. They've been together for the past year and a half and she couldn't have been happier.

I can't believe it. I just saw her not too long ago. I've never had a close friend like this pass away and I don't know what to do. It hasn't hit me yet... I'm sure it will soon.

Please keep her family in your thoughts please. There will be an autopsy performed to find out what really happened.

I wanted to share a few pictures from college...

wow, what sad story! I will be thinking of you and her friends and family. It is not easy to deal with the loss of a close friend. I lost a good friend in HS, Sadly enough as I look at the calendar it will be 12 years ago to the day next month. It's not easy to deal with, I can promise you that, but you will have the memories and the sound of her voice in your head...12 years later, I can still hear it. When the day comes that I can no longer hear his voice is when I'm sure I'll have a nervous breakdown!
