A personal bio from Mandy.
My bio is as follows: I have been married to my husband,
Geoff for 25 years. We have 2 children, Sarah
24 and Geoffrey forever 20. We sadly lost
our son Geoff on June 6, 1999 to suicide.
I started a Suicide Prevention Program at Highland
High School, which will be presented on
January 22, 2001. It is directed to students in
crisis, teachers, parents and town officials.
We reside in Highland, Indiana where we have lived for the past
23 years. I am the Founder and Trustee of a Non-Profit
Organization called "The Geoffrey P. Tanses
Memorial Fund" which supports the "Yellow
Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program" in conjunction
with "The Light for Life Foundation."
