TX for the Tweet. I'm please to see that you have a passion for suicide prevention. It's my case too. To years ago I worked as communication coordinator for the Quebec association for suicide prevention (www.aqps.info).

I never see you post on Facebook anymore, so I figured I'd find you here. My old profile got deleted, so I had to start over. How are you doing... How's your family?
