Description
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to live any longer. It's nothing to do with what you said, Dad, I'd made up my mind to do this ages ago. Mum, maybe it will help to think of your twins together again. Jan, I'm leaving you my blue cashmere sweater and all my books, even though they mostly belonged to you in the first place. Louise, you can have my diamante brooch and all my make up and any clothes you want. I'd like Carly to have my toy dog. Goodbye. Love from Tina."
