Sometimes su***de comes without warning like this case seems to be and not much can be done. When there is warning like a failed attempt or talk of wishing they were dead, professional counseling is an absolute necessity.

My Goddaughter attempted to slit her wrists and failed. I tried to get her to accept the free counseling that was available, but she refused. A few weeks later, she was found in a vacant lot beside their home, having put a pistol to hear head and pulling the trigger.

She left behind three children with the oldest about to graduate valedictorian of her high school class. The children suffered while their abusive father soaked up all the offered sympathy. He drove her to her death with his abuse as surely as if he had pulled the trigger.

Only a few days later, he and an accomplice attempted to invade the house of two drug dealers and steal what drugs and money they could find. After injuring both occupants with a knife and club, they fled without locating what they were after. When both of the injured men reached the hospital emergency room, the police were called and very soon both assailants were arrested and jailed. The father was sentenced to over ten years in prison and the 3 children were sent to live with their maternal grandmother!!!

Jenks Public Schools says counselors are available to students and families following the death of a student by su***de.

Here's a photo dump from our CASA Fundraiser held this past weekend Snake Creek Shooting Sports. The tournament raised right at $5,000.00 and I'm sure as good Oklahoma Freemasons we will add some more to that. It was a great time with some good fellowship so look for it to happen next year and come join us.
