Have a feeling more of these things tend to happen at this time of year and believe New Years has varying implications and effects depending on one's situation. Extending my heartfelt sympathy and condolences to those involved and close ones. Truly sad.

Rest in Peace! Its that type of sad case again... and again. Encurage people to seek help and encurage people to offer help and not blame. Nothing more important than life, cherish the life of loved ones, friends, neighbours and enimies... Afterall there are no real enimy but the enimy within.
