Sad News

Don't think it has sunk in but I was at work yesterday (ED) and things were as normal as they can be there, just had a tour of the new department which is very swish and HUGE. Maggie comes round, visibly upset and says, it's Gerri, she's dead. I sat there with my mouth agape, stuttering and stammering thinking it was some cruel joke but no it was true. Beck had gone to pick her up to go to one of the nurses wedding and was faced with that news. Donna gathered us all together with coffees and tissues and explained that she had been playing her favourite computer game last night when the rest of the family went to bed (she is a night owl, does nights) and her daughter found her in the morning, no details as autopsy to be done but assume a massive PE or something similar. She wouldn't have known anything about it but the family must be devastated as are we all. Marlyn had to go home. Gerri was one of the few at work who actually made me feel welcome, she was a jovial little thing and a huge hole is left with her passing.
