Further, Caitlin was a child of this small town where we are located. The local township community and the local thoroughbred racing community have been shaken to the core by  this event.

Have already noted this in the media - heart felt sympathies - I felt 
sad when I read about this. For those working in general practice as I 
do, we see many similar tragedies involving health of young and old and 
they stay in your memory as the decades roll by - the individuals and 
their faces remain with you like a trail of ghosts  that  for some 
reason one becomes even more aware of as time passes. I guess is must be 
similar for those in the armed services who lose their mates in war.
