A new mural portrays people of all ages and races holding on to a quilt. The faces on the quilt are of loved ones who’ve taken their own lives. The mural includes a link to a website where you can share your personal story.  “80 percent of Americans have been touched by suicide,” said Temple social work professor Jonathan Singer, who helped on the project. “Either  they know somebody, they have been suicidal, or they’ve helped somebody that has been suicidal,” he said.
