The first words out of my mouth when I read this were: "how sad!" Thirty-three is very young by today's standards but who am I to question the reasons without knowing all the facts. Our years, months, days and hours are marked and we know not the time of our exit from this stage we call life but leave we must. All in due time like passing from one room to the next. In the eons of time it is but a blink of the eye! - V.
