And yet another death has swept through Wadsworth High School....



Friday Ben Rowes, a freshman at my high school, killed himself. Just like his friend Jake, who about a month ago killed himself, he hung himself in his house from his stairwell. I think it was his neighbor who found him. I was reading the obituaries in the newspaper and it said that the police found a sucide note just like they did with Jake but they are holding it and won't let the family see what it said. How cruel is that. If my kid wrote a note I would want to read it. Any how he was a organ donor and he ended up saving a little boys life. I think if I was his parents in a way I would feel proud. Maybe that's not the right word to use but I think you know what I mean. I went to his calling hours. I didn't really know him that well but he did go to my church so I thought I should go pay my respects. Almost everyone from my church was there. I felt so bad. Everyone was crying, even his guy friends. I didn't know what to say so I just gave his mom and dad a hug and left. He was a really cute kid and in his school pictures he looked like he was at least a senior. Gosh that poor family...
