Seniors
They deserve honor and respect.
" ... a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth and honor" (1 Chronicles 29:28).

He pulled his Honda Accord onto the streets of Washington, D.C., and drove to a national park on a bluff overlooking the Potomac River.
He got out, leaving his suit coat in the car. In his hand was an antique, .38 revolver.
He walked across an open field. Standing beside a cannon pointing out over the woods, Vincent Foster took his own life.
