She is his mother.
I don’t really care if these people are libs, or even out and out commies, suicide is a great tragedy that I’ve suffered in my own family. I don’t think suicide in the elderly is uncommon as they can often suffer from depression. I read about this woman’s death in the Post, but I don’t think it said who she was. My sympathies to her family and to Anderson Cooper also, I never heard about his brother killing himself.
It’s just a brutal thing.
I have that book also. She certainly had a privileged and interesting life. Probably a big lib. Perhaps a Trump presidency was more than she could bear.
“I’ve gone out the window.” - a line from a woody Allen movie.

Yes she was unlucky in that regard.
Got a citation for that?
Hahahahaha!
Didn't even make the top 50 most common names as of the 2010 Census. Scroll down to page 8:

Well, of course you know better than a national statistical database of millions of respondents, because you were one person in one location with a headset.
Many years working and personal knowledge and all that. You sure have a big ol’ chip on your shoulder. If you just have to have the last word, go for it. You’ll probably be constipated if you don’t.
Projection alert!
