I strongly believe that Barb TARbox's purpose in life was to educate peeps bout the effects of tobacco. She spoke in schools all over in Alberta. I wish that I could have seen her speak. Unfortunately, by that time I was out of school & don't live in AB.

2) Heather Crowe: She was a victim of Lung Cancer through 2nd Hand Smoke. She was a non-smoker. She worked in a restaurant for 40 yrs. If it weren't for smoking in public, she may not have gotten cancer. Sadly, she passed away this yr on May 25th...

3) Jordon Tootoo - His brother Terence committed suicide. They were both hockey players. Jordon made it to the NHL. Terence didn't. Not sure how to say this, but Jordon is on posters w/ a Suicide Intervention Hotline. The ph # 1-866-213-2213. (We have them here @ work)

Well that's all I can think of right now. I'm sure that there are many others.

Have you ever wondered about the reason of our existence? Have you ever wondered why we die, and where we go after death? What will happen to us in the end? Have you ever asked yourself why God made the earth and all that is in it under man’s dominion? Why were the night and the day, and the sun and the moon created? What are we supposed to do during our lifetime? Were we created just to eat, drink, and enjoy ourselves before we die? As one poet put it:
“I do not know whence I have come.
I saw my feet walking on the road.
As they please I go and stop.
What am I doing here?
How did the road find me?
I do not know! I do not know! I do not know! ”

God has emphasized in many verses of the Qur’an that He did not create us without purpose. He said: “What! Do you think that I created you simply in jest? And that you would not be returned to Me?” (23:115) He also said: “What! Does man think that he will be left to roam at his will?” (75:36) In addition, He said: “Do people think that they will be left to say: “We believe,” and they will not be held accountable?” (29:2)
Indeed, God Has created human beings for a purpose and with a purpose: TO WORSHIP HIM ALONE (Monotheism). He said: “I have not created the Jinn and humankind except only to worship Me. I don't require provision or feeding from them. Surely Allah is the All-provider, the Possessor of all strength, the Firm.” (51:56-58) In fact, all prophets told their people to worship God alone (Monotheism) and shun worshipping His creation (Paganism). God said: “I assuredly sent among every people a messenger with the command: Worship Allah and avoid worshipping false gods.” (16:36)
Prophet Abraham, for example, believed in One God, who had no partner. Anyone who holds a different understanding of God than this has contradicted the religion of Abraham and follows falsehood. God says in the Qur’an: “Those who reject the religion of Abraham make fools of themselves.” (2:130)
Prophet Jesus was reported in the Gospels to have said: “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’.” (Luke 4:8)
Prophet Jacob also said (in the Qur'an) to his people: “Indeed, those which you worship besides Allah are only names that you and your forefathers have established, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command belongs only to Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the right religion, but most people do not understand.” (12:40)

What kind of English is this? Perhaps learn to use English properly so it is clear what you are asking. There are so many of these people with so many different purposes. Of course there are more. Use a search engine or go to the library.
