Tragedy for Burt and Angie

I was sad to learn about the suicide of Nikki Bacharach, the daughter of songwriter Burt Bacharach and actress Angie Dickinson.  Nikki had Asperger's Syndrome.  When Nikki was born prematurally three months early, Burt wrote a ballad named after her.

While it is true that people with Asperger's Syndrome have difficult struggles in life, suicide is not a solution.  My condolences go out to Burt and Angie and their family.

Rest in Peace, Nikki.
