I have made a lot of friends going to Scrapbooking retreats. There is a lady that lives in Pocatello Idaho that often will Facebook message me to answer scrapbook questions for her. With her and her daughter has attended the crops my friend helps her with some of her projects sometimes. Well right after dinner, She messaged me to tell me to let the Mom And Me store owners know that when they left her store today her daughter choked to death and passed away in her arms. I told the DH it was probably my fault because they came down to the American crafts warehouse sale as today was the last day. She had messaged me for all the information. She told me that she was devastated and have been at the Orem police station being interrogated for three hours. They had taken her daughters body to get an autopsy. So for the next two hours I talked with her back-and-forth while she waited for her daughter’s daughter-in-law to come pick her up and take her home. It is a 3 Hour Drive from where they live. I know she just wanted to pass the time away so I asked her how it happened. She actually choked on a french fry and a Slurpee. I’m kind of partial to guess because it has always been my fear with my choking episodes that I would hate to die that way. She said she tried to do CPR on her but she felt so helpless not being able to help her at all. life is so fragile. It breaks my heart for her. I’m sure she’s almost 80 and her daughter was probably my age. Now she has lost her Scrapbooking friend who brought her to the retreats and scrapbooks with her. She is now wondering how she’ll go on
