I feel sorry for her family and friends. My young girl that was killed was only 27 and she had two small boys. Her life was violently taken from her and your young lady is having hers taken from her too, only with a little longer to prepare. Neither way is better than the other. I myself am a cancer survivor and my heart hurts for her and her family. Prayers are all that we really have in the end. May God bring them comfort.

Prayers are with her, and for her family, and that her husband has the strength to make sure her qualities are imbedded in the children.
Stories like this should remind us what is more important, the extra hours at work or the hugs at home.

My prayers are with her family and her. Really makes you think, she's only two years older than me. God be with them all.

When I hear a story like this one, it reminds me of how precious my family is to me and how blessed I am. I vent and gripe sometimes, but I can't believe how petty that is when I am reminded by a tragedy of this magnitude. I guarantee that I will go home and hug my husband, daughter, and mother (who lives with us) tonight, and hit my knees in thanks for what I do have.

They are all in my prayers as I type this. I am so sorry. I know that none of us is guaranteed one more second on this earth, since my brother died at the age of 18 in an oil rig accident. I was 16 at the time and it cut me off at the knees, but tragedies like this brave young ladies still break my heart. The only thing that makes it bearable is that she is at peace and no longer in pain. It is the family that has to pick up the pieces and go on that suffer. I don't think I will ever say my prayers again without including them.

Our young lady passed away today. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.
I am so sorry to hear this news, how terrible. She is now at peace as Elena stated which should provide a small amount of comfort.

Our heartfelt prayers go out to this family, and I cannot help but think of Jesus' words to Martha as recorded in the Gospel according to John (John 11:25-27):
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.”
I just had chills reading your post. I have heard these words all my life, and this is the perfect forum to repeat them over and over again. Thank You.
