"The elector’s oath was administered to 61 new voters and one additional name was restored to the list at the meeting of the Board of Selectmen and the Town Clerk held in Edmond Town Hall last Saturday. This compares with 87 persons who were made voters in their corresponding meeting last year." Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing that.
As someone who survived a near death suicide attempt I know how important having support outlets are. People don't always give indications that they are going to do something so it's important to look for hidden signs. Like spending alot of time with themselves, not being very verbal in social situations, and seeming detached.
When I went through it looking back, I did display these behaviors but gave no indication that I was going to go through with it. At the time I felt I had no one who understood me.
Letting people know they are loved, you understand and there's always a chance at a better tomorrow makes all the difference.

I remember spending time with the Sandones when I was in Newtown high school with "Patty". She was my friend at the time. They were all so nice to me and I had a great time at their home in Sandy Hook.
I remember Mathew being a sweet fun loving boy.
I hope they are all doing well and I always will fondly remember the time I spent with all of their family.
