The World Health Organization, (WHO) reported that one million people in the world commit suicide every year. We pray that our prayers, advocating for life, dismeneing information and speaking aloud about this silent killer will lessen those statistics in the world. Save the date for next year. Monday, September 12, 2012. We will celebrate life with friends, family and loved ones. This comes at a time of remembering 9/11. While we honor those that serve and remember loved ones, we celebrate their memory and those that continue to live. Peace and Blessings!
