We're exactly the same age.
Heart failure at age 31. That's too tragic.

Very sad news. 31 is way too young to go. Best wishes to her family and loved ones during this time.

Whenever someone so young passes away of "old age" type causes, I always think there's foul play. I'm not saying something like heart failure does not occur in the young but it is rare (or it appears to be rare, let's put it that way).
