I had a cousin who committed suicide about 10 yrs. ago. It was pretty rough. I was there when they wheeled her body out of the house.

Heinz and his wife Waltraud (Wally) lived near me and Wally still lives in the same house in Grosse Ile, MI. One of my family used to be Heinz's private secretary and she said that he was greatly troubled by his depression and nothing that was tried seemed to help. He was a great man and was admired by many, but the disease (depression) got the best of him and he hanged himself with the power cord from a vacuum cleaner in his pool house. Very sad... I believe that mental illness is the single worst thing that we face in our lives... So much tragedy and sadness are caused by it.
