I’m so very sorry for your loss. We recently made it past the five year anniversary of the passing of our 18-year-old. At first I honestly didn’t think I’d survive…the pain was unbearable. It’s the worst sadness imaginable, but, you already know that. Thank You for sharing.
Heartbroken over this! I’ve grown accustomed to watching her report the news for many years here. So horribly tragic and sudden. Her last words are so haunting. Rest in peace, dear Lisa – prayers especially for her husband and 2 young sons. Life is so fragile. You just never know- cherish every moment.
My condolences to this family. Stories like this are absolutely heartbreaking. It sounds bad given the circumstances but it’s nice to finally have a story that causes people to reflect on their lives and share their own stories instead of having heated debates about the same thing over and over. My uncle passed away from a ruptured aneurysm in June of 2011. I remember everything about that day. He didn’t die immediately, he was in a come for about a day until his body finally shut down. It gave me time to say goodbye. The sad part is that things like this always make us say we need to focus on the things that are really important and not take anything for granted but three days later we’re back where we started. I can only hope that her children have a strong support system. I couldn’t even imagine what it’s like to lose a parent that young.
Fortunately this type of death is quick and painless. Too bad they didn’t discover it before it killed her. I am hoping for the same rather than many other painful lingering ways to go. It’s simply like turning off the lights. I have an aneurysm too. In a cavernous location over my right eye. It was discovered while testing my carotid arteries. At the time they gave me less than a year and to get my affairs in order because it was considered inoperable. After several months I got a phone call from the University of Wisconsin neurology department that a new procedure had been developed in Europe with a 2/3rds success rate and would I be willing to risk it? That was more than 10 years ago. Of course it was a complete success and near the 10th anniversary the original operating staff met at a scan and congratulated each other for a skillful success. I am 81 now and can go anytime but if I had a choice it would be that repaired aneurysm failure. –luv u UW! As for the cause of the condition in my case it was a bayonet attack in1951 that also damaged the retina of my right eye and now I am losing my eyesight. I hope it’s lights out before blindness.

I’m still in shock, I had just watched that telecast Thursday morning. Than late Friday I see the tweets, Facebook and on channel 7 news that she had died. My heart is broken, even though we don’t know them personally. You watch them for so many years that they become your “TV” family. I remember her tweeting about the winter storms and all the school closings in 2013 and I tweeted about when (we are about the same age) we only had ONE snow day because we couldn’t get out of the doors, she replied and favorite it.
Rest In Peace Lisa

i wonder if anyone knows: what were her symptoms right before she said that? i mean, was it a great pain, or darkness, etc.?
