Turned out to be
this lady, wife of the pastor of the Park Cities Presbyterian Church of Dallas:
The
Dallas Observer reviewed the situation today and a column that was written about the death in the
Dallas Morning News. The author questions calling the underlying reasons that cause suicide to always be a "mental disease":
"But I do have a mini-rant to offer on the assumption that suicide is automatically and always a symptom of disease. What if people really do have overwhelming problems they can't overcome? And here is the really tough one: what if they just don't want to be alive anymore?"

"We, the Zetas, believe in the right to suicide. Whose life is it, anyway? Suicide has been given a bad name in human societies, by association. The mad man, convinced he has committed crimes in fact not done, destroys his good life. A waste. In fact, this seldom happens, and is much more dramatized in fiction than occurs in fact. Most suicide is undertaken after much agonizing and debate. Most suicide is undertaken when life is truly intolerable, because of never ending pain or because the life circumstances cannot and will not change and are emotionally and mentally intolerable. The humans have cast about for years, seeking solutions, and none are to be found. They are in agony, and wish release. Most suicides do not even hamper others, but are seen as a relief. At last, the others no longer need participate as spectators in the agony. The tortured is at rest.
Why is this so resisted in human society? It is the control factor, the concept that one's life is not one's own. Organized religion, and controlling establishments, view the human populace as their herds. The herds cannot escape their bounds, and must resign themselves to their lot. Contemplating escape is not allowed, lest the herds begin to expand their horizons. Therefore, there is no escape. Pay your dues, work hard every day, pay homage, and obey. This is the theme. Suicide angers the religious elite and the establishment elite because it represents an escape. For no other reason." Source: Zetatalk
Hey Zetaboy, just stick to running your dope and stay out of the religion business.
Astute civil litigators like BG used to be will recognize the Schoellkopf name from an often cited case on procedure, Schoellkopf v. Pledger, in which it appears that her father was the appellant, along with Caroline Rose Hunt. Pretty high-toned crowd; could have afforded some Prozac.
Liberal anti gun nuts will stop at nothing to further their agenda and hopefully make their lives finally meaningful- including killing themselves.
Those folks over at the Observer should be elated by the suicide of a prominant, religous white lady.

You might want to rethink your assertion that "Most suicide is undertaken after much agonizing and debate. Most suicide is undertaken when life is truly intolerable, because of never ending pain or because the life circumstances cannot and will not change and are emotionally and mentally intolerable." In the US, suicide is the second leading cause of death among people ages 15-24 and the third leading cause of death among people ages 25-34 and frequently involves alcohol and drugs. These two age groups make up approximately 30% of all suicides in the US. It would seem that poor coping skills as well as poor decision making skills, associated with immaturity, might be among the main reasons for suicide in the US. Oddly, among people aged 65-74, whom you'd believe to be enduring "never ending pain or because the life circumstances cannot and will not change and are emotionally and mentally intolerable." suicide ranks 33rd.
There is a case to be made for assisted suicide for people with debilitating physical diseases without hope of recovery but suicide should never be accepted as a method with which to deal with emotional problems.

Seems as though nothing has changed for you, while I was gone. You're still wrong!
However, you can take your pick from the list and try to guess which I was doing during my absence from LL.
A. Did time in The Big House for outing gossipy shrews.
B. Became a world ranked raid healer for a World First Guild in a major MMO.
C. Lived in Beijing while teaching English to Chinese executives as well as created my own class to teach their children English.
D. Laid on a beach in southern France while putting the finishing touches on my third book.
E. Some mix of the aforementioned options.
Well, we hoped!

Mzchaff I didn't notice..staring in a mirror with a pistol to my head wondering why I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Could that have been F?
We need to legalize suicide. Some of us don't won't to lay in a nursing home til we stop freaking breathing or worse live in constant pain...we have pro life, why not have pro death. Would save a lot of money on medicaid & social security.
I missed Mzchief and her mischief. I appreciate your contribution today, especially.
MzCreep I have a extra round if you need some help
