The instantaneous nature of modern social media tends to spread information faster than our ability to consciously manage it & makes it easier to leap to conclusions before knowing all the facts.
I agree. I’m envisioning that your friend must have seen fb posts of you on vacation and she had a hair trigger response to defriend you.

The defriending without any discussion was very immature on her part and very strange. It should have been nothing more than her making a comment, “I can’t believe you guys came here and didn’t call me!” Then you’d have posted or called to tell her it was a much needed quality time for your marriage. That’s all it ever should have been.

I’m sorry you lost your friend. She must be going through some things and took it our on you.
