I guess we have to wait for the results if she was drunk or anything. I always want the Full story before I comment.

Always sad for people that lost someone they know though.

She was so full of life and excitement about her bodybuilding, boxing, her interest in Greco-Roman wrestling and literally anything she had taken an interest in. She was a athlete's athlete. I recall her entering the Battle of the Biceps at the Olympia a few years back. On first meeting her before she was married - Roseanne Blackburn - she told me how her strongest desire was to be a lifelong "sports junkie". At the 2003 BC Provincials, she had just won the MW class. The look on her face was priceless. She was like a kid with a new toy. Always a wide smile. Always a sincere hug. Always enjoying the challenges of being the best athlete she could be. Rest now Roseanne. I will miss your zest for life.

On my bio sheet she listed her birthday as June 4, 1975. She was just a few months past her 35th year. She also noted she worked as a licensed practical nurse.

R.I.P., for much of you who might not know it's been raining like hell in this area, she should have slowed to under the speed limit. I even hydroplaned the other day with new tires, there's that much water...
