Beyond the suicide of my friend's bf (http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...9#pid45039), Tara just texted me that the younger sister of one of her High School classmates just ODed.
That is a remarkable family. They own one of the local farms and are affluent (the father collects cars and they live in a luxurious mansion on prime property. The mom lost both legs years ago in a DUI accident (she was sober and hit by a drunk). She gets along well on prosthetics. They have 4 daughters, and the one that died had been having psych problems for some time. They had put her in programs and treatment, surely expensive ones (the private school families were mostly far more blue blooded than us - we got in with financial aid). The dad sings in choir and we've seen him perform several times with our local symphony. They are a great family - very grounded and open despite being upper class - and always opened their home to us. We have nothing but fondness for them and are heartbroken to hear this tragedy has struck.
Tara is very close to their daughter (not the one who died). She had aspired to study marine biology and got into a good school in FL, but they were evacuated due to flooding and then she ran into issues with school and a bf, so she dropped out and returned home. She's been living in an RV on her parents property (possibly nicer than our bungalow) and took a job at Glow - a candlemaking store on the mall that went belly-up due to covid. She was planning to accompany Stacy and Tara on a trip to Orr hot springs in a few weeks during Tara's spring break.
We don't know any details about her sister's death. She was in her late teens and had recently fallen in with a bad crowd from Watsonville after several fail rehab programs. She was grappling with depression and alcoholism.
