janet069 @janet069 (663) • United States 28 Dec 06

BettyMydland Your boys are young and perhaps it was divine intervention that she wasn't around uch in the last few months. I would say nothing unless they ask and then explain her absence in terms they will understand. The word SUICIDE is not something that needs to be...
