In summary, Jenni and Janice's team members have experienced multiple losses in the past two weeks. One woman was killed by a bee, another was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and another had a stroke.

I feel like I am in the twlight zone. I had a consultant on my team pass on last month. Then in the past 2 weeks I have had 2 consultants who have lost their husbands! Both were young, less than 30 years old. One was stung by a bee and died a few days later and the other I don't know what happened yet as he just passed today. Just feel so badly for these women and families.
 
Oh, Jenni. I am so sorry for your losses. Keeping everyone in my prayers.
 
Oh, wow! I'm so sorry girl!!! Big (((hugs))) to your team members!!!I've found that the "threes" rules is true. Births & deaths do seem to come in threes. Hopefully you guys are DONE and won't see any more deaths on your team!
 
{{{{hugs}}}} so sad for your team
 
Oh my gosh -- so sorry!!What is in the air these days? I have a consultant on my team who was ready to promote -- but one of her recruit's husband was just diagnosed with 2 brain tumors and another girl who was supposed to sign with her just had a brain aneurysm (she is barely 30!) she is in a rehab hospital recovering (stroke symptoms). So sad.

wow Janice! Sorry. Seems like freak things... i have never known this many people who have passed away in my whole life and now all at once this happens.
 
SO sorry Jenni. Really brings home the fact that we are not promised tomorrow doesn't it? I'll be praying for all of you!
 
Goodness, I am so sorry for your team members Jenni and Janice. I certainly had my lesson in appreciating each day after what happened to my ex husband recently. I feel so bad for them because their lives feel upside down. We really learn that we have not much control over what happens in life.

And to add to our household, my boyfriend's father passed away yesterday, but he was 91 and led a good life. It is so hard to understand when someone young passes away or is suddenly diagnosed with such serious illnesses like your team members.

Many prayers for them and their families.
