Friends,

Please pray for a high school classmate of mine who committed suicide on Monday. Yet another person who meant so very much to many people (he became my high school's head wrestling coach for the past 20 years and became a foster father to many boys through his work) has taken his own life after losing his struggle with depression. He leaves behind a son and a daughter.

What is happening in this world? The second person in 2 weeks who was part of my life for a time who has given up on life.

RIP, Gary <-- obituary here. May you find the peace in eternity that you could not find in this life.

I will consider your position if stated with firm, well-thought-out, quiet reasoning. Hateful diatribe, ad hominem attacks and shouted rhetoric don't impress.

So sad. Prayers.

Will offer prayers. Unfortunately, I think I understand why people do it. I don't know if I can hurt all my loved ones that way, but I've come pretty close.

This has not been a good start to 2013 for you! I shall pray that things get better for you from now on.

I shall pray for the soul of Gary, I shall pray too for his family and friends at this very sad time.

God bless you
