The Passing of a Friend
From today's Gazette. This has hit me hard. I don't know why. I did not know her. I only remember she was tall:
Lisanne Grady
GRADY, Lisanne. Born on June 9, 1959 and passed away on Sunday, June 1, 2008 from a sudden and unexpected illness. Survived by her loving family and friends. Lisanne will be missed for the love, grace, strength, compassion and friendship which she shared with us all. In keeping with her wishes family and friends will gather for a celebration of Lisanne's life to be held Friday, June 6, beginning at 12:30 p.m. at La Maquette Restaurant, 111 King Street East, Toronto. A special note of thanks to the nurses and doctors at the Toronto General MSICU, who's courage and support has been greatly appreciated. If desired, donations may be made to the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, Canadian Cancer Society or the charity of your choice would be appreciated. Condolences and memories may be forward-ed through http://www.humphreymiles.com/ Humphrey Funeral Home A.W. Miles Chapel & Reception Centre, 416-487-4523.

You did not know her, but Theresa did...
When somebody dies unexpectedly or sooner than they "should", it makes me feel vulnerable and mortal. "If it can happen to her, it can happen to me."
I pretend I'm invincible but life (mine and other people's) has a way of reminding us that we're not.
Reading Ms. Grady's obituary, I am reminded by the song, "Carry You Home", by James Blunt.
