artie, I'm really sorry to hear about your friend. Covid has been REALLY tough for a lot of business owners.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

My cousin also took his own life 11 days ago due to COVID related issues.

My condolences. April was probably the most difficult month my wife and I have had in 22 years of marriage thanks to Covid. I am very sorry your friend got so despondent this seemed like the only step. Try not to blame yourself. I’ve unfortunately been where you are (not recently due to Covid thankfully) and I know it’s hard

God speed, Terry indeed

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.

Artie, this is awful to hear. I have actually had to talk a restaurant supply business owner out of ending his life. He worked his ass off for 20 years to have his business ended by a lock down. Peaceful thoughts going your friends family and your way. Dang

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

So very sorry...prayers sent

My condolences to you and his family.

Very sorry to read about your friend. I hope his family and you can find comfort somehow.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, ArtieS. This is so tragic.

Sorry to hear this brother, none of it will ever make sense and I am sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry for your loss Artie. We lost 11 employees this week due to covid layoffs. I cant imagine what they are feeling. I feel as though a shadow passed over me.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Hound dog offered some very wise words. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
