Default Lost another great soul to depression

The brother of a good friend and sponsor, Justin Gadberry aka Black Bear Performance, took his life the other night. (Justin's brother, Jacob took his own life, not Justin) As we all know here with Billy, aka budhayes3, this is a close subject. Justin and his family are now left to pick up the pieces of such a great loss of what was obviously a good person with a mental health issue that got the best of him. Say prayers and have Justin and his family in your hearts as they go through these troubling and difficult emotional times.

In the mean time I'd like to send flowers to the funeral home in the name of all us at pt.net. Who's in for donating a couple bucks for flowers?

Just send what you want as a gift, please don't use "paying for services". Choose sending money to friends or family on the paypal site.

Paypal whatever $ you want to budhayes3@deweygibson.com and I'll buy flowers dependent on the money donated. If more than the cost of the flowers is donated I will donate it to Justin's choice of a charity. As always, I'll keep what is donated open to you guys, I will not keep any for me doing this. All goes to Justin's brother's funeral arrangements and/or Justin's choice of a charity.

Thanks guys!

This sucks. I am dealing with suicide in the family right now and it's very hard to understand and grieve.
