Just eleven days ago, the girls and I were at a birthday party, and I remember talking to the birthday boy's mom. I see her sometimes either dropping off or picking up kids. She was a very nice lady.
Today Darby's third grade class was told that she passed away suddenly last night following some outpatient surgery a couple days ago. Her son is Darby's classmate, and one of her better friends. She usually sits pretty close to him in class. So far, she seems to be taking it okay. But what a shock, even for me.
UPDATE, 22 OCT
Turns out she died of a blood clot that made it to her heart after the surgery. And surgery was elective, making the whole thing all the more tragic. The funeral is on Tuesday, and Darby wants to go so she can comfort her friend.
