If it is the same woman, she leaves behind three children - who lost their father (her ex-husband) only a week ago. Quoting: guest 1410058Some of your remarks are incredibly insensitive and uncalled for. How dare you! You don't know all of the facts. If it was an intentional death, then I'm sorry that it had to come to that; that this poor lady could find no other solution. I've been told that this lady (if it was, in fact her) was a wonderful mother and woman. She was very much loved by her co-workers. My heart goes out to her children who, unfortunately, lost both of their parents (the youngest is only 17) in such a short time of eachother. Not even time to grieve one parent and now they must grieve the loss of both. It is VERY sad. thank you guest. I hope it wasn't her, but we'll undoubtedly learn more in coming days. The family is the saddest part...especially kids left behind "From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17 |
