You're In Our Thoughts, Schoeneweis

Rest in peace, Gabrielle Dawn Schoeneweis.Incredibly sad news comes out of Fountain Hills, Arizona today, as Diamondbacks lefty reliever Scott Schoeneweis' wife was found dead in their home this afternoon.

As this story unfolds, we know very few details on 39-year-old Gabrielle Dawn Schoeneweis' death. Even more disturbing, we've read that she was found in the couple's bedroom by their eldest 14-year-old daughter. BLB's thoughts and prayers go out to Scott and their four children, along with Dawn's family and friends through this very unfortunate, faith-challenging time.

Update:
"On behalf of my and Gabrielle’s entire family I want to express my deepest appreciation for the prayers and support of my current and former teammates, front office and team personnel and dear friends both inside and outside of the baseball community. Your support is needed and appreciated during this most difficult time. We want all of you to know how important your love and friendship is to all of us."

That is so terrible. Hopefully it was a natural, painless death and foul play wasn't involved. It's so unfortunate when women under 40 die so unexpectedly!
