MY MEMORY TREE WILL OFFICIALLY BE CALLED THE MEMORY TREE OF "HOPES" FROM HERE FORWARD. I WILL BE DONATING ALL FURTHER FUND RAISING PROCEEDS TO HOPES, A LOCAL SUPPORT GROUP WHICH STANDS FOR "HELPING OTHERS PREVENT AND EDUCATE ON SUICIDE". I  WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON A MORE LOCAL LEVEL. I GIVE MY TOTAL RESPECT TO THE MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP. BELOW IS A PICTURE OF THE 2008 TREE AND SOME OF THE GUESTS. MY HEART WAS WARMED BY THE TURNOUT THIS YEAR AND I HOPE THAT ALL THAT ATTENDED LEFT WITH A PEACEFUL FEELING.
