More to the story on suicide. It was just reported a couple weeks ago that the suicide rate in our county was up almost 100% from last year. It&#39;s a mystery that no one has an explanation for. I have my own theory as we were once a major manufacturing area until the folks in Washington decided to ram NAFTA down our throats, and then allowed unlimited free trade with China. A lot of people, including our neighbor, lost good paying jobs because of these actions. We know he was struggling financially.<br />

Our neighbor&#39;s daughter will be devastated. Her Mom was at our house last night being interviewed by detectives on why she though he decided to take his own life. She really did not have any idea. They&#39;ve been divorced for 7 years and she has remarried. The worst part for her was how to tell her daughter. Rita did a great job of comforting her since her family all lives in Texas. Rita actually held her up from falling down when the garage door was opened and the discovery was made.
