Now that Maren is dead, we will have to carry on without her. She started this blog to bring us all together. I hope we will continue to use it and share our journeys and adventures through life with each other. I'm going to work on inviting other Somers to join in as well. It seems I am the only one who actually posts much and not that often.
Nancy and I are still very sad about our lovely daughter but there is little we can do now. She apparently took her own life on June 18, 2010 by drinking a KCN solution that she prepared from chemicals she obtained from the lab where she was pursuing her graduate degree in Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois. We don't have the final coroner's report yet, but the final analysis and autopsy reports are due soon.
