Fashionista Kate Spade commits suicide.
The popular designer, who shot to fame with her line of eponymous purses, told her only child, 13, that it was not her fault in the letter, which was found nearby after Kate was discovered ‘unconscious and unresponsive’ by her housekeeper on Tuesday morning.
She is survived by her husband Andy, who is the brother of actor David Spade, and daughter Frances.
Clearly, if we’d had common sense scarf control, we’d have saved just one life.
Have compassion for everyone you meet,
even if they don’t want it. What seems conceit,
bad manners, or cynicism is always a sign
of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen.
You do not know what wars are going on
down there where the spirit meets the bone.
Miller Williams
Like so many of us I’ve experience suicide in my extended family and friends I’ve lost over the years. While life pains are over for the departed the pain is more profound for family and friends left behind, my heartfelt sympathies to those now left to deal with the loss of a loved one.
