“Mary Richardson Kennedy

Hanged herself yesterday. She had four kids aged 11-17, same as mine.

Around 7:30 p.m., two women entered the property, one carrying flowers, the other hauling a tray and a bag of food.

"This is terrible," the woman with the flowers said, breaking into tears. "We don't need this."
