Earlier this week I got word that another one of my co-workers was found dead in his apartment on or around Christmas day. The Christmas holidays bring on more deaths than any other season of the year. That’s one major reason I loathe the Christmas time. David had apparently been deceased for a while.
Lately quite a few single people I know have died alone in their apartments. Single people are expendable. Yes he did have family. I will say no more about that.
Dying alone is quite common especially for single people. I just hope he went quickly and did not suffer. Once again he was only in his 50s. David was a good guy, a wonderful co-worker and a nice person. When I started at the museum David went out of his way to welcome me and make me feel comfortable. David was always cheerful, upbeat with a smile even when his life was not going so well.
As always the good people die young and the evil ones not only remain but prosper.
As a single person I shudder to think that one day this might happen to me also. But as my parents used to say, “Tomorrow is not promised to you.”
God speed David. Your suffering has ended and now you are with the Lord.

News like this is always depressing, but especially during the holidays. This, by the way, is one of the reasons Christmas is not my favorite holiday.
Thank you! I’m so glad to hear from somebody who understands about Christmas season dread. I really appreciate your input.
Oh, Deborah, this is so shocking. I don’t know why so many die around this time of the year. It is even more tragic when it comes so unexpectedly in such a young age. I am so sorry and wish I could hug you right now!
Yes a true tragedy. David was a great person filled compassion, kindness and very generous.
I see! It is so hard to understand if possible at all. So young and so kind. I am so sorry 💘

2 Timothy 4:7-8
King James Version (KJV)
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
I’m so sorry about David. But you are right, DeBorah–he is at peace and with the Lord. Amen.
A Somber atmosphere at the job. Always the good die young.
