Life Should Never Be Taken for Granted
During dinner my colleague (and friend) got the hardest kind of call: his mother had collapsed.
While driving to the hosital she was being transported to (3 hours from where the conference is), he received news she had passed away.
She was 59 years old.
If you have a moment, please send some comforting thoughts his way.

I’m so sorry to read about your friend’s mother passing away, and at such a young age. It must be a very difficult time for him. I’ll keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
Wow ….way too young!
Oh my goodness….sympathies to the family!
Yes … as the others have written, 59 is far too young.
I am sending sweet prayers of comfort and peace his way.
All my positive thoughts are going his way - thoughts of strength and love.
I’m so sorry to hear that.. Please convey my condolences.. My prayers and thoughts are with him and his family during this tough time. I understand how it is to lose a parent who is still young at age. I lost my father 7 years ago due to an asthma attack. He was only 50 years old. It’s hard but I pray that your friend will get through it. May his mother rest in peace..
