The text messages read “The time is right and you are ready … just do it babe,” is what she texted him on the day that he had killed himself.
More text messages read “You can’t think about it”. “You just have to do it”. “You said that you were gonna do it”. “Like I don’t get why you aren’t,” she had send in other text messages. She even told him to get back inside his truck and fill it with carbon monoxide.
