I don't know what to say, other than that I'm so very sad. People on the radio kept saying, "It wasn't really a surprise." Maybe not, but that doesn't make me feel better. I love the photo that accompanies the below Times article.

I don't know why this upsets me so much, but it really does. May she rest in peace.

Sad and scary and she was just so beautiful.

I echo Susan's thoughts in that I also don't know why this has upset me so much, but it has.
Maybe no one else was surpised, but I was. My first sobering thought was, "I can't believe they got her." Scary indeed.
