M friend just passed, and I need a few days..... (Patreon)

I...just found out that one of my friends just died four hours ago...I know that I said I would finish that animation by Christmas but...I don't know if I'll be able to. I am in absolute shock right now. None of the rest of our group knows what happened...but it was confirmed by her sister that she is in fact dead. I am struggling to type this out right now...so I know once it actualy sets in, I'm going to be an absolute mess. I am sorry for the inconvenience you all...but I am hurting and need some time...just a little bit.
