This is one of the saddest things I have ever heard in my life.
Carlene Balderrama, 53, of Taunton, Massachusetts, shot herself with her husband’s rifle on Tuesday afternoon after faxing a message to her mortgage company telling them that by the time they foreclosed on her house later that day, she would be dead. According to a CNN report I heard this afternoon around 5:30 ET, the mortgage company immediately notified the local police, but the woman was already dead by the time they arrived.

A very sad story. I had heard that the husband didn’t even know the house was up for forclosure. Really a tragedy.
My heart goes out to her family.
