Sending lots of prayers from Cincinnati.
Unfortunately, I’ve experienced this twice within my own family, and never noticed any of these warning signs. Every life is truly special, wonderful, unique, and always matters!
Richard, feel free to call, if you need anything. I’ll ask my Church to be praying for you and your family.

Thanks!
