Dead by her own hand

Nancy killed herself yesterday.  She used the gun of the man that owns the house she was living and shot herself in the head, apparently using a pillow to muffle the sound and a sheet to catch the gore. And she did it in the back yard so she wouldn't make a mess. 

She leaves behind 2 daughters, age 22 and 20, and a boatload of debt.  This selfish act is the culmination of many selfish acts after she left her family 2+ years ago.  I am saddened by this action and surprised that she had the courage to do it.  A very sad, wasteful, and selfish act.  How's that hope and change working out for you, Nancy?  Apparently not so good...

It's worse that she did it the day before the 35th anniversary of her father's death.  It appears that this anniversary contributed to her proclivity to end her life.  Very sad, and very wasteful after so many years...
