That note being in her handwriting suggests to me that her husband was planning this. She could've been going somewhere and left her husband a note reminding him to take care of the dogs, and he saved that note with the intention of using it as a "suicide note". Just my opinion!

Congratulations to the Hunter family for having Joanna’s law passed. Hopefully other states adopt this wonderful law of prevention! Law enforcement officers will tell you that they are trained to be reactive not proactive therefore that means if something happens they are there but can’t do much before anything happens. Many will suggest restraining orders and such but that doesn’t stop anyone from hurting someone. So the law passed in Joanna’s honor is a huge achievement in the right direction. So glad also that Joe used his pedestal to bring awareness to such a dire cause not just for his sister but all women in the same situation. The Hunter family is grieving the loss but doing something totally beautiful and valuable for humanity. God Bless You Hunter Family and do not give up! 🙏Pray that Justice will be served in time 🙏❤
