Post by: pstovall on July 23, 2017, 01:49:37 pm: I'm so sorry. I can understand how heartbreaking this must feel. We have had the same thing happen to the grandson of a couple in our Sunday School Class this week. It's so hard to understand. Their grandson was in Texas.

Hello! :D :)

Im so sorry for your lost. It seems more and more people are seeing that suicide is their only way out. I hope you enjoy your days off and that you get enough time to reflect on your life.

Best wishes :heart:
