As many of you know, I have Asperger's Syndrome (high-functioning autism). That means I have a wonderful tendency to put my foot in my mouth on a very regular basis since I will blurt out the first thing I think regardless of the pain it might cause another. Even at my worst, I would never make (or even think of) some of the comments I've seen in this thread. Some of you judged and condemned without facts (maybe the woman who had died in the train accident got distracted for one second, her foot slipped, she had a foot cramp, she had a seizure or a stroke or .... -- who knows); you made jokes about someone dying.
Imagine being only 64 years of age and feeling life is so meaningless there is nothing left. How much pain this poor woman must have been in. Imagine the pain her family and friends are feeling right now.
Imagine you're the husband or children of the woman who died in an accident. Their pain is incredible.
This is not the people of The Villages I've come to admire and, yes, love. Shame on those of you who made these comments.
