My poor, depressed & hounded by demons cousin

I have read the saddest things on Facebook from my cousin and stumbled upon his blog. He was once the BMOC at EC Glass in Lynchburg, VA. I remember going down there for his high school graduation. He and his brother Joe sat on the counters and drank beer in the morning like most people do orange juice or coffee. He had a lot of friends in and out and his mother bragged that he took a doctor's daughter to the prom. Gee, whoever thought one could want more than that out of life. Now he's working two jobs in the little town where my mama is from. No one lives there anymore but him. Our matriarch passed away last October and she was a Cannon by marriage but like her mother in law, our matriarch none the less. We all have moved on beyond the pitfalls of high school. It took me awhile but I have arrived. I told him to get on match.com but he said it's a racket. Come to think of it, he's probably right. I got lucky but so did a few others I know. I think about the BMOC from my class, who is serving life without parole in MO for killing at least 3 if not more elderly people. Well, at least William hasn't killed anyone. But it is sad & I will pray for him. I don't know what else to do.
