• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I have here an email of interest? Is it it
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: is of interest? Yes, email in trash. It's a sad email,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: but with a positive spend to it. Okay, it says here,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Dear Bill. I was hoping to tell you, hoping to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: tell you thank you in person, but I don't think
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: that I would be able to hold it together. This July,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I lost my husband to suicide. The September sixth would
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: have been our thirteen year anniversary. It also happened to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: be the day of the American Foundation for Suicide Preventions
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Out of the Darkness Walk, and so I decided to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: spend what would have been my anniversary honoring my husband
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: at the walk. And I just wanted to tell you,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: thank you. Thank you for sharing your story and giving
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: your time to such an important cause. Your sharing your
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: story has given me hope that even after the loss
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: of my husband, that life will be okay, that I
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: will be okay. Today I'm donating my husband's coats to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the Road Home. He was an avid supporter of the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Road Home and donated to them every year. Even though
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: it's been hard to let go of his things, I
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: know that this is what he would want. Thank you
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: again for all that all of you do for the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: causes that you support. It means a lot to the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: people whose life it impacts. Thank you, Thank you again,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and I'll just leave it anonymous there. But I thought
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that was a really remarkable, a remarkable message that out
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: of something that's very dark and tragic and sad, but
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: this person is making something good out of it, something
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: positive out of it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: We hear those stories a lot during this time of
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: year when we do the Road Home, we do the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Road to the Road Home broadcasts and people come in
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and donate. Our next opportunity for that will be next
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Wednesday at Riverton Chevrolet in South Jordan.

• 2:08

  Speaker 1: your life and and you know, don't think you're bothering
