Ron-

I am so sorry to hear about Mandi!!!

You and your family will be in my prayers. Love and Support,

Keri in CA

All please read- Mandi Piper

My name is Ron Piper, I am Mandi's husband of the past 5 years. We

have been a couple for 11 years. Unfortunately I have to inform

everyone that Mandi died Thurs June 19. She committed suicide. She

left no note, no final words, and never gave me an indication that

she felt so bad. We have a 2 year old daughter that she absolutely

loved and adored, I thought she would do anything for her. We are

now left in utter chaos.

Two days before Mandi died, she asked me to take a leave of absence

from work because she was feeling overwhelmed taking care of the baby

and other tasks around the house. I did so, I have done this before

on several occasions without complaint. I loved my wife and let her

know early on that I would drop everything and anything to be here

should she need help. I had an understanding employer also.

Mandi found a way to get both the baby and I out of the house for a

couple hours. She went into a room of the house that we rarely use,

it had a door that closed so that the baby would not see her when we

came home and she shot herself in the head.

She never gave me any indication that she was thinking suicidal

thoughts. I have always been a big protector of Mandi and would have

done so then also. I am at such a loss because Mandi was always

happy, always smiling, and everyone belived the same.

You can see for yourself by going to the web page

www.dropshots. com/mlh951. We use that site for photos so that out of

town relatives could keep up with the baby as she got older. I am in

such a massive state of confusion because she kept these feeling

bottled up so well. I never will be able to understand the torment

those thoughts had to be giving her.

PLEASE!!!! If any of you have any of these thoughts, please speak up

to someone or check your self into a hospital.

Also, I am not very computer literate. I am trying to find something

on the internet that Mandi might have typed to others with Still's

disease that might give me any indication of what went wrong. IS

there a way on this site to view only the discussions that Mandi

chimed in on or started and avoid going over the hunderds of pages of

listed discussions?

Also, please help me if you can- if there is anything you can let me

know about discussions that you have had with Mandi, please inform me

of the link I think it is called, good or bad, I need to know. I

will hold no grudges on negative posts (if there are any), I just

need to know.

Please take care of your self, your family and most of all, don't be

afraid to speak up. I will be checking in as much as possible. If

you don't care to post on the message board for everyone to see, I

can also be reached at a o l under the email name mickstr68-
