I had an e-mail from a very close friend and roommate in college this morning that the woman in this story was none other than one of the three other girls who was a cheerleader with us our senior year in high school. She was married to her high school sweetheart--a starter on the football team. They have two adult children--27 and 25. Family who were with her the night before say there was no indication she was upset about anything.
What in hell is going on in the world?

DEL MAR, Calif. — Officials say a Del Mar woman committed suicide by jumping in front of a coastal train.
San Diego County Sheriff's Deputy Jeffrey Schmoll says the 58-year-old woman was hit by a southbound Coaster train Friday.
The engineer told investigators she jumped into the train's path.
The area where the woman was hit is posted with "no trespassing" signs.
Her name was not immediately released.
http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/jun/06/ca-socal-train-fatality-060609/This is so sad. So tragic. What a horrible legacy to leave for your husband and kids. No one seems
to know anything about what would cause her to take such an action.
How is it that we can get to a place where people do these things and don't give off any warning signs?
Can you imagine how lonely she must have felt to be in so much pain that she would do this and nobody--just nobody--had any idea? Could everyone have been clueless? It just leaves so much guilt,
so many questions, so many "if onlys" and "what ifs". It is just so, so sad.
May Laurie rest in peace. :cry:
