Jenny,

Trisha -

My life has changed so much since Wednesday, March 19th. My mother - who was my best friend, confidant and basically my world passed away suddenly. She had blood clots in her lungs last spring which almost killed her - we found out then that it was caused by the combinations of medicines that she was on.

The doctors were weaning her off of medicines and trying her on new meds. - but she was only feeling worse! The chemical imbalance caused severe depression - which they were trying to treat with these new medications.

On Wednesday, March 19th - she could no longer take the pain she felt - she felt she would never get better. The strongest woman I've EVER known took her own life that day - out of desperation!

Needless to say, NO ONE saw it coming. It was a complete shock. My Dad and I will NEVER be the same.

I just arrived back from North Carolina last night. I brought my Dad home with me for a while. We are trying to recoperate - but nothing seems to help! I am so lost right now and I feel like I am just in a horid nightmare! My mother was the most loving, caring woman I ever knew. Her death will change me forever!

Please past this along because I really need the prayers to get my family through this awful time in our lives!

Love, Jenny
