death = tragic

so for the first time in my life i am suffering trhough the pain of having someone that i knew and was once close to die. i just found out not even a few hours ago that a hurting soul that i knew from days gone by has passed. she was a beautiful person who had alot that she was going through. unfortunately she just wasn't strong enough to deal with it all. my heart is breaking for her and her family. i know what a wonderful person there was underneath it all. she was so strong but just not strong enough to overcome it. she touched everyone that she came in contact with and that she extended the word friend to. all of our lives will be more empty without her in them.
