i saw some articles come up suggest that my mother faked her death. i am not sure how that would be possible. it was open casket. there was ssi/insurance money from her death. i think you all want to believe that peoples parents hate them so much that they would fake their own death. i dont think so though. i do have an acquaitance from the past though, i heard died from a drug overdose, but i guess it is possible their family just said that.
