Had nothing to do w being in shape. My wife passed away from the sameThing, at the same age, 29. She was very fit. Brain aneurysms are hereditary, and some dont even kno it. All i can say is NEVER take a constant headache or consistent headache lightly. My wife woke me up w a headache & 3 hrs later she was gone…… CRAZY!!!!!!! but GOD makes no mistakes…
Man……I wondered what happened to Tommie. Man this is too bad though….
Damnnnnn hate hearing stuff like this, R.I.P God bless
