This is going to cause a lot of speculation.

I'm kind of disgusted that her note, her very personal note addressed to her poor baby girl, was made public so quickly (or at all).

Agree....
It should have remained personal at it was likely intended
It a very sad scenario now for this young girl to ask "daddy" why this all happened?

If that note is true. She basically set her daughter up to resent the father. This is too much

“Ask daddy” could be taken two ways. The first and most obvious is blame being sent in the father’s direction. But you could also interpret it as maybe she knew her husband could explain to their daughter about Kate’s depression (or whatever issues she was having that made her do it) and the father could reiterate that it was not in any way the daughter’s fault.

I’m hoping it was the latter.

Whatever the explanation might be, this young girl is going to grow up without her mother & who knows what the spin daddy is going to put on all this...
It's a terrible sadnes all around no matter what he might say.. A lot for a young girl to grasp
Tragic...

Gosh those bags were terrific. Back in the late 90's, I was in graduate school.
Sometimes before class, a few of us gals, we'd talk about the bags and accessories.
It was such a fun way to bond.
I feel for those left behind.

Right. I just hope (assuming this is true about the note) that it wasn't intended to spite the husband. Possibly he knew or her mental or physical pain and that's what she was alluding to. If it was the former, that would be unspeakably cruel.

The more info that is being released the more heartbreaking this situation is
Whether is was business related, health issues , unhappy relationship its a very tragic ending to a woman who was
admired by many & perhaps kept too much inside & no one detected her distress.

I hope TMZ gets sued into the ground for this. It’s likely that a family would withhold a mother’s suicide note from a child till she’s much older, if not forever, because what child should have to read a parents’ suicide note? Now she’ll undoubtedly read about it on the internet, see it on tv, or be told it about by a peer. What bottom feeders people at TMZ are! All to boost ratings and clicks. I think I’m actually going to email them my p*ssed-offedness.

I think TMZ is usually accurate. I'd like to know what person in law enforcement gave them the info and whether they've been reprimanded or punished in some way

Couldn't believe this when I saw it today either. Every woman I know has purchased and carried one of her bags or worn a pair of her shoes at some point. Like all of you have written, we truly have no idea the pain and suffering others carry day in and day out. I too pray for peace for her daughter mostly, but also her husband. If that suicide note did in fact say what it said about her husband, I feel for him. If they had a fight (as we do in relationships and marriages), sometimes we say things we don't mean in anger. I hope that did not happen because the guilt for him will probably be almost too much to bear. So sad. RIP. :sad:
