To the Donnelly family, sorry for your loss, may GOD give you his LOVE, PEACE, and STRENGTH in this time sorrow. I know what you are going through the same thing happened to me 11yrs ago, it was a blow to me and my 2 brothers. We had so many ?'s that never got answered, and we had to deal with the shock and denial and get on with our lives and it was hard for all of us. But you do get through it with the help from GOD(although at the time i had issues with GOD) and family and friends. Give yourself time to heal it doesn't happen fast it's a slow process but you do get through it. May she R.I.P <3
