I am sad and very disappointed. Suicide is the MOST SELFISH thing to do....what about her daughter??? Couldn't she have thought about her??

Linda was the only person I ever wrote to to tell how much I admired her clear thinking writing. I had wondered why I hadn't read her lately.

I did write her once, also. I felt better for it, because I wanted to let her know I appreciated her message. And she did write like a dream. This isn't one of her best, though the subject is fitting:

Dawn beyond life's sunset clause: Linda Bowles looks at Mort Kondrake's love for ailing wife Milly

We are all programmed to die; there is a "sunset clause" in our DNA. God designed us to perish. We may die from some disease, accident or assault. Escaping that, we simply grind down and wear out.

I wish she could have taken more from Mort's fight for his wife than taking her "sunset clause" into her own hands.
