More heartache to a wonderful family

This morning I found out that a friend died Monday night in a motorcycle accident in Hawaii.

Jennie Wahlstrom was a great mother to four kids.  She was a daughter-in-law in the Wahlstrom family, who has gone through a lot in the last ten+ years. 

It always hurts to hear about somebody you know dying, and more so when you know that family has to go through a lot more heartache over the next short while.
