Silenced too soon

I don't have the actual post to confirm this news but I have heard that brave Emilie has died. I have not been able to stop thinking of her and her boys all week. I think of her last post, not even a week ago, in which she says "I'll write more later." and I can not believe that her words, her voice, has been silenced.

Yes, tonight will be a silent night. Not the kind I wished for for her and her family. If there is such a thing, I hope that she is sleeping in heavenly peace.

ETA: The post from Emilie's husband is up now. Please stop over and offer what comfort you can so he knows just how much his family is being thought of now in these dark hours. My heart is shattered, the tears for someone I never met but felt so close to, surprise even me.

I am silenced too. I cannot find the words. Her beauty and bravery was too short for us all to experience in full glory.
Lighting a candle and holding peace for her family in my heavy heart.

I was so sad to see the message from her dh on her blog, so soon after her last post. I had hoped she would have more time. :( What an amazing person. I feel privileged to have "known" her, if only for a short time & through the Internet.
