no one ever knew what was really wrong, he had HIMSELF commited at one time, but it didn't help, as you can tell. everyone tride to help friends asked him over to eat at their place he said no, we think since his wife left him that that was the last straw, he made his whole life his wife and kid. i dont know, maybe it is better that he is at peace now? whats ironic is that the day before his daughter found him, my mom was wanting to see him, and then she told me that she woulden't want to be one of those ppl that take suicide calls, my dad cut his thumb, are mail box was trashed and MY friend burnt her hand! i mean, how ironic is that? My mom is scared because she thinks in another five years someone else will pass away from her family, first it was her father he had died of a serious heart attack, then her mother died of cancer, and then her brother and he was only 43....sigh....i hope SOMETHING good comes from all of this, i dont think she can take anymore abuse....and now her boyfriend..."Michle"...grrrr i hate him, i KNOW he is using her, but she thinks she still loves him!! ACK! sigh.... well i hope you ppl have alot of love out there, were gonna need it. yours truly, thank you 4 your comments and prayers! Amanda :) C. Ps. my mother says thank you from the bottom of her heart.
