She was 37, really bright, second-in-command of her large organization, and mother of several young children. She was also a runner, slender, and seemingly healthy. She had very minor symptoms for about a week that they thought were allergies and that they didn't even consider were COVID. She suddenly fell very ill on Sunday night, Monday afternoon they took her to the hospital, and even Monday night she had stabilized with some oxygen, but early-morning she suddenly crashed and by Tuesday morning she was gone.
