Too much sadness

My heart is beyond broken.  I learned this morning that a schoolmate who had been fighting cancer was called home to Heaven last night.  I knew she'd had a rough summer, but I didn't realize the end was in sight.  Her husband said she fought to the end, and I have no doubt.  Lynda was my sister's age, and her sister and I were in classes together all through school.  We had lots of playdates with the four of us!  Lynda and I worked together at summer camps a few years, and she was truly the nicest, most genuinely kind person I've ever met.  She ALWAYS had a smile on her face, and she was grateful for every moment.  Her three children range in age from 16-11, and this just doesn't seem fair.  It doesn't seem fair at all.  When I called this morning to tell my mom, she began to weep.  This is just a day of sadness.
