Love from Pie – #griefheart number 47

Love from Pie
Love from Pie

This heart is in memory of Maggie Moyler who died by suicide at the age of 17 in 2011. Above is her signature.

I knew Maggie as a young child because the Moylers went to the same church we did in Midlothian. She was adorable–an absolute light. She looked like a child right out of a Gap ad and I thought the Moyler’s had the perfect family.

Years later, after Charles died by suicide in June 2015, Charlotte contacted me from their new home in Williamsburg and told me Maggie had died by suicide at 17. I had not heard and I was floored.

Maggie was popular, pretty, a great student and by all accounts she looked totally together. She didn’t have mental illness that we know of, or addiction issues. No warning signs. It totally came out of nowhere.

Read Charlotte’s story about Maggie’s suicide here. It’s too important to ignore.
