Sad News
We are deeply saddened to have learned that our friend and Schoolhouse neighbour, Ina Priller, passed away on Friday. A wonderful person, with a troubled soul. Her collapsed marriage to her husband was very troubling for her. She was found in her husband's dentist chair with her dog, Molly. She died of an overdose.
Suicide is never easily understood. At first, I was angry. Angry that she would do this to spite her husband. He just wasn't worth the effort. Then I realized that the burdens she carried had been passed on to him. Now he would have to live the rest of his life knowing that in whatever small way, he had something to do with her death.
And, too, she chose a place where her friends and family would feel the least guilt. Away from the family home, in a place clearly targeted at the one individual that had grown to make her life so miserable. Somewhat poetic.
Ina, may you have found peace my friend. Do good things in the after-life. And rest. Your pain is over.
