As much as I hate to reawaken such an old threat, this absolutely must be said.
My name is Vincent Kovala, and I am the brother of Kathryn Kovala, the girl whose obituary was posted on page four.
Frankly, I'm insulted by the automated assumptions that so many people drew from a paragraph. How dare any of you assume that simply because my sister was in both NA and AA, that drugs or alcohol may have been a factor in her final choice of suicide. None of you even have a fraction of the story, and I cannot even begin to describe how upset I am that someone would bring her up in an effort to make a so-called "point" on their own topic.
This unfortunate event occurred in my family over six years ago, at this point, and while I have moved on, I am deeply outraged by such ignorance.
There are always a hundred stories behind any one event, but I've never seen such conclusions drawn from a story with such little detail.
