Such sad events are not an all to subtle reminder that life can be short and can end without warning. For those of us who deal with heart disease, heart related issues, CVD and/or other medical conditions including diabetes, the losing of a FB 'friend' or 'acquaintance' can hit home hard, it can be like losing a member of the family, albeit extended, distant family.
More importantly such a sad passing should be a 'wake-up call' that some of us are not here for a long time and that we should make the most of the time that we have.
