and while driving (in the tour bus) the priests on the bus would take questions about faith from the passengers. The questions began about suicides and one of the priests said he was uniquely qualified because he was second on the scene (after the guy's father) after the priest's nephew had killed himself with a shotgun. The first thing the grieving father asked his brother the priest was "So, is Joe in Hell?" The priest kindly answered "More than anyone else, God does not want Joe to be in Hell and I can't believe in a moment of mental weakness after a life of good works that God would think Joe deserved to be in Hell." That answer stuck with me and I hope it helps you.
