Showing Original Post only (View all)Our neighbor down the street committed [View all]
suicide at 5:30 this morning. Husband went out to pick trash and another neighbor told him about it. He came back home and I asked him why he was only gone for a short while. Said he was too upset and then told me why. Early sixties and newly retired with a wife. My husband is the kind of guy, had he known, that would have spent a lot of time and effort to help. Suicide is horrible and final. He really liked Mike.

It's always best to have a plan. Although work right now is getting in the way of them.
