Swine Flu Claims the Life of an American: 33 year old mother from TX

Even though folks are telling you not to believe the hype, Swine Flu is real and it has claimed the life of an American-- a 33 yr. old school teacher, from Texas, who just gave birth to a newborn!

This week should have been a joyous time for Judy Trunnell, a 33-year-old schoolteacher who had just given birth to a healthy baby girl.

But the friends and relatives whose cars lined the quiet street in front of her home in a quiet subdivision Tuesday instead were mourning her, the first American with swine flu to die.

“We’re grieving now,” said a woman with tear-streaked eyes who declined to give her name.
