Something I never want to have to do again -

Yesterday I attended a memorial service for a friend's 4 month old grand-daughter. Talk about sad - thank goodness it was just a memorial service, and not a full fledge funeral, with casket, etc. Supposedly, she (Kristen) died from SIDS. An autopsy was performed with "inconclusive" results. My friend kept Kristen every Tuesday & Thursday. Kristen's mom teaches. She died Friday while at the babysitter's. The sitter had put her down for a nap, and when she checked on her, she wasn't breathing. Can you imagine? How awful, for everyone! I also knew Kristen's mom as she once in awhile plays BUNCO with a group where I play. I felt connected to her because she has a 3yr old boy, and I have two 3yr grand-daughters. My daughter visited me last Mother's Day with her 3mo. old 2nd daughter, and we made a BUNCO appearance so I could show her off. Kristen's mom was maybe 3 months pregnant at the time, and SO hoping for a girl. And when she got her wish, she was just thrilled. Just so very sad. Hence, my title -
