Long Beach.

During episodes of sanity, he was one of the nicest people in the world, very talented, very bright.

I have never stopped thinking of how much a cure for his schizophrenia might have saved.

It was very sad. His insurance coverage ran out when he was hospitalized, and he killed himself shortly afterwards.

He also tried suicide at home in our house, but we managed to get him to a hospital. He lived about six months after that event.

I'm very sorry about your cousin; but I'm very happy you've come through.

All the best, and condolences.
