Sad. Mumsy sure had some nice legs though.
How very sad. My oldest son has Asperger's - so far it hasn't got him down but it limits him so much. And my father committed suicide. This hits too close to home.
Mrs VS
Ravages of Ausperger's? That's like saying the ravages of near-sightedness (and I speak as someone with both near-sightedness and Ausperger's). More likely she had depression that went untreated.
How sad.
What a sad story. I always had a "girl crush" on Angie Dickinson - thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world for a long, long time.
Burt wrote some great music, too - as long as he didn't sing it.
I didn't know anything about their family/families, so this is very sad to be the first I heard. And egad, I can't believe they're both that old!
God bless and keep them, and give them comfort, as well as rest for the soul of their precious daughter.
Prayers for the family and Nikki. So very sad..~~Pandora~~
Prayers for her eternal rest and for her friends and family.
My first thought is that she did it cuz she was so sick of listening to that Gieco commercial showcasing her father.
Sad to hear, none the less.
A mother's worst nightmare. Apparently her only child, too. Prayers for Angie Dickenson, especially.
Prayers for the family.
"Nikki" - by Burt Bacharach, written for his daughter
Somewhere there is sunshine.
Somewhere days are warm.
Somewhere there's a happy harbor
far from the storm.
Out where the sun shines there is someone
I'm meant to adore,
and I know the day I find her,
I'll smile once more.
Nikki, it's you.
Nikki, where can you be?
It's you, no one but you for me
I've been so lonely since you went away.
I won't spend a happy day
'til you're back in my arms.
For ev'ry dream there is a dreamer,
and when dreams are gone,
for each wish
another star shines to wish up on.
Take all my dreams and all my wishes
Hold them in your heart.
Tell me soon we'll be together,
never to part.
Nikki, it's you.
Nikki, where can you be?
It's you, no one but you for me
I've been so lonely since you went away.
I won't spend a happy day
'til you're back in my arms.
Don't make me wait here in the shadows
till my life is done.
I can't live without the sunshine,
you are the sun.
Oh Nikki, it's you.
A person never "peacefully commits suicide." It's the very expression of un-peace.
Incredibly sad. Prayers for her mother and her father.
Heartbreaking end. Prayers.
Prayers for the family and all involved. There are times myself where I wonder if I have Asperger's, I do and did display a lot of tags for it. I know self diagnosis is not the way to go and can be dangerous at times, but I can't help wondering. Once I get a better health plan, maybe that's a road for me to pursue. A side note, sometimes I did have a lack of empathy until the time I asked God and Jesus into my heart, but some of the other factors do seem to remain from time to time. Like Nikki, I was born in 1966 and turned 40 last year.
My sympathies to Angie and Burt. May their beloved daughter rest in peace.
