What would cause a vibrant woman to go from glowing health to raging infection/coma in a short span of time? Read the details in her GoFundMe page below which set up by her friend.
She is hubby's beautiful relative. I was in shock upon hearing the news of her death.
Norlyn's Go Fund Me page:
In fifth grade, Norlyn, a childhood friend of mine, travelled all the way from the Philippines to Canada to be with her family. It was there where she pursued her career as a registered dental hygienist.
A month ago, she went to visit her native land to celebrate her 40th birthday with her only son, Daryll. Before flying back to Canada, she decided to get a tattoo done. Despite being aware of the precautions with having the new tattoo, she decided to go for a swim. Two days later, she had both a high fever and chills, which caused her family to bring her to the emergency room. The doctor told the family that she had an infection that had already spread throughout her entire body. She was kept in the ICU for a few days on life support because of her difficulty breathing; however, the doctors informed the family that there was nothing else they could do to save her.
On February 10, 2019, Norlyn decided to join our Lord and passed away. Her body remains in the Philippines where her son is also staying at the moment.
I am creating this fundraiser because of the large expenses arising from Norlyn's stay at the hospital the last couple of weeks. Unlike Canada's health care system, the Philippines does not have a system that resembles OHIP implemented and, unfortunately, hospital bills tend to be exceedingly high. In the case of Norlyn, the medical costs reached a million pesos and she did not have life nor travel insurance. This GOFUNDME page is dedicated to provide financial assistance for her family and, particularly, her child.
She was a great friend, sister, daughter and, most especially, a mother. Most of the people who knew her do live in Canada, and the goal of this fundraiser is to bring her back home, so that she can have the funeral she truly deserves where everyone can say their final goodbyes in person. Norlyn was an exceptional person with a beautiful soul and smile. Although she is now in a place of bliss, her family and son, in particular, need all the possible help they can get to cover all the costs and bills that emerged from this tragic event...

1. I would not post the above picture if I were not so angry and shocked. Norlyn should have known better -- she worked in the medical field, for pete's sake!! To risk exposing her vulnerable just-tattooed skin to pathogens is simply very foolish (read stupid) of her and cost her her life. Sad. Sad. Sad. May others heed the warning.
2. Tattooing is part of the practice of a lot of pagan religions. No wonder God warns against it. Not only does it displease Him, avoiding tattoos could potentially save a life.
Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead,
nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.
- Leviticus 19:28
3. Unless Norlyn knew the Lord Jesus Christ by faith, she has perished. She is suffering even more and will be forever in Hell. No escaping -- ever. Endless ritualistic, repetitive prayer by the living will never get her out. No mention of praying for the dead in the Bible. Very tragic death in more ways than one.
