Gail was only 52. She died in her sleep, if it was a heart attack or stroke I think she would of alerted her husband next to her but she just suddenly died with no underlying health problems.
I feel very bad as they owned the local pub and just sold it so they can have an early retirement. They were both going to enjoy themselves as running the pub was a fulltime job that required there full attention.
Her husband Chris is distraught as now he's a widower and was about to enjoy the fruit of his hardwork with his wife and family.
If you can pray for her family it will be greatly appreciated.
Elder people it is hard to tell right off though 52 is not that old and you are correct, usually it is not something to be that sudden without symptoms ahead of time though, she may have had some and was just one of them that, don't complain about it as to not "rock the boat" if others were stressed about something already, many true matriarchal types will do that, take care of everyone else as she grins and bares her own woes in silence. Prayers out to Chris and all her loved ones.
