RIP.
Oh, my! RIP.
You’d think living in New York would cause mass suicides.
My wife just showed her Kate Spade wallet.
Who knows what a person’s trials are even when they seem successful.
Sanctity precedes Sanity.
Never forget that.
Kate Spade Net Worth: Kate Spade is an American fashion designer who has a net worth of $200 million. Hmmm.......
In Dec 2005, Kate’s BIL, actor David Spade, donated $100K to the Phoenix police dept, which financed firearms for the officers
Shocked to hear this. Very sad, and a 13 year old child left behind. Heartbreaking.
She was an answer on Jeopardy last night!
Suicide is the ultimate act of selfishness.
God grant mercy to her tortured soul. What a terrible shame that she felt so helpless that this was her only way out.
Suicide, especially with a husband and 13 year-old daughter left behind, is the most selfish and narcissistic act there is.
May God have mercy on her soul and comfort her widower and poor young daughter!
YES....my grandfather committed suicide by hanging when my father (only child) was 14...ruined many things
What was the topic...."People Who Committed Suicide"?
“Suicide is the ultimate act of selfishness.”
My son-in laws’ family suffered from two suicides. His brother and aunt. Words cannot describe the damage left behind. He suffers from depression, we are all encouraging him to seek treatment.
That said, I hope that's not the reason because she was still worth around 50 million dollars. And her daughter is only 13 years old.
No, but I’m ever an answer on Jeopardy my mom would totally drop!
Suicide is truly a dreadful death, because it is preventable. I had a cousin who committed suicide, so I have a particular dread for this type of death. Unlike death by natural causes or an accident, suicide leaves friends and family member asking countless questions, and many are left with a sense of guilt because they think they were the cause.
