"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z
Some words of wisdom…
The more vigorously the primacy was displayed, the more the question came up about the extent and and limits of [papal] authority, which of course, as such, had never been considered. After the Second Vatican Council, the impression arose that the pope really could do anything in liturgical matters, especially if he were acting on the mandate of an ecumenical council. Eventually, the idea of the givenness of the liturgy, the fact that one cannot do with it what one will, faded from the public consciousness of the West. In fact, the First Vatican Council had in no way defined the pope as an absolute monarch. On the contrary, it presented him as the guarantor of obedience to the revealed Word. The pope's authority is bound to the Tradition of faith. … The authority of the pope is not unlimited; it is at the service of Sacred Tradition.

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians." CDF 2003
One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting. — C. S. Lewis

For contemplation…
"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."
- - Giovanni Guareschi

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Chapter 7
Jesus heals the centurion's servant—Jesus raises from death the son of the widow of Nain—He praises John the Baptist as more than a prophet—A woman anoints Jesus' feet, and He forgives her sins.
1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
11 ¶And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was
16 And there came a
17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judæa, and throughout all the region round about.
18 And the disciples of
19 ¶And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
21 And in that same hour he
22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the
23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be
24 ¶And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously
26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my

31 ¶And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
36 ¶And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
37 And, behold, a
38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and
39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are
48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are

As I roam around CES, I realize how critical the mobile phone has become in our everyday lives. From making our TV and home appliances smarter, to making our car ride more enjoyable, to making work more mobile, mobile devices have become ubiquitous. So it's not surprising that car companies are designing new models to accommodate our BYOD habits.
Ford launched the Ford Developer Program this week, which means developers can now create apps for Android and iOS that interact with the car's integrated SYNC communications and entertainment system. This is a smart move for Ford, as car companies look for ways to make owning a car appealing again by making it a lifestyle choice. Developers can use the Ford API to develop a more robust ecosystem of apps. So far apps are in the most obvious categories for drivers and passengers: news, location, and music
After checking out the Ford booth, I walked over to the Delphi booth to see how Mi-Fi and safety are being integrated into cars.

Buffalo Rock sits like a sandstone island above the surrounding land and the Illinois River, and offers sweeping views of this famed waterway.

You'll also encounter scenic overlooks 100 feet above the Illinois River. The real crowd pleasers at Starved Rock are the numerous sandstone canyons that were carved deep into the bedrock as upland streams drained into the Illinois River. Some noted canyons of worth to explore are Kaskaskia Canyon, Ottawa Canyon and Hennepin Canyon Overlook.

Starved Rock State Park West Hike offers a decidedly different set of attractions than its eastern counterpart. On this hike you'll encounter a series of overlooks from wooded bluffs and rocky cliffs high above the Illinois River. This 2.9-mile hike varies in difficulty due to the large amount of stairs that need climbing. The dominant feature of Starved Rock can be found on this hike, via a narrow bluff that runs 4-miles along the south branch of the Illinois River. The park's namesake towers 125 feet above the river, offering commanding views of the nearby islands and river. Some notable excursions include, French Canyon, Wildcat Canyon and Pontiac Canyon with sweeping views of the Illinois River.

There are no two ways about it: single moms (and not to forget, single dads) have their hands full when it comes to life chances. First of all, if you're a into cooking, go here :), secondly the children they rear have a higher chance of dropping out, ending up in prison, or becoming unwed teen moms. If that's not bad enough, other social pathologies like suicide rate and drug addiction are higher for children born to and raised by single moms. This all leads to a demographic time bomb since an increasing percentage of the children born in the United States are born to single moms-many of them unwed teens. Sadly, there are many conservative commentators that choose to take the cheap and easy route of blaming the victim instead of addressing the underlying causes of teen unwed pregnancy. As for the other face of single motherhood: children born to and raised by women in their late 30s and early 40s, these conservative critics, who are often more interested in economics and stuff like investing in gold, are silent. And for good reason, the life chances of children born to educated career women who chose to be single moms in their late 30s and 40s are closer to the norm than unwed teens. Instead of attacking single female parents, critics should focus on how social support can help both single moms and fathers and their children.
Institutional neglect
While the huge stigma of unwed pregnancy is largely gone in this day and age, the hassles faced by children of single moms haven't completely gone away. The sad fact is that the whole system of expectations and cultural values regarding families are still oriented around the outmoded and increasingly disappearing 'ideal' family structure of the nuclear family, even these bike tours I recently were searching for seem to be. The days of Ozzie and Harriet are over but you wouldn't be able to tell this when you look at the many educational and social welfare support systems in place. Maybe the reason the children of single unwed moms fare so poorly compared to children from more traditional families is because the whole complex of education, social support, and social welfare is still geared towards traditional families. In short, these create an institutionalized 'advantage' for kids born in traditional families. As a result, children from households headed by single moms are forced to compete in a system that is geared towards children other than them. See the painful cruelty in all this? We risk creating a whole society of second class citizens as prisons fill with children of moms with low-wage jobs ensure that kids raised by single moms are trapped in a lifelong cycle of poverty and dependency and are more prone to be bullied. The same happened to me when I was looking for ways to make my hair grow and I realized a lot of people are bullied when they're looking to grow their hair faster. Ironically enough, it is precisely the children of 'traditional' families that might end up being victimized by some of the criminal pathologies spawned by society's neglect of the needs of single moms. See how this all ties together?

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – "Hi, Woody," the questioner began.
"Yes," Woody Johnson, the New York Jets' owner said, turning around to see who was giving him a Thanksgiving greeting in the tunnel outside of his team's locker room following the New England Patriots' smashing his squad 49-19 Thursday night.
Johnson realized it was a reporter asking for his reaction. So he gave it.
Sort of.
"Grrrrr-mmmph-aarrggh!" he said and walked behind a screen, away from a gathering crowd of media.
That pretty much sums it up. All of it.
TURKEYS!: Hilarious Sanchez fumble sums up Jets' season
It's the sound of the Jets' owner and also the fan base, folks who gave up a holiday at home to come to this "embarrassing" performance (the Jets' players words, and ours) at MetLife Stadium against a hated division rival that rattled off 35 straight points in the second quarter, including three touchdowns in 52 seconds, to turn a scoreless tie into a laugher.
It's the sound of the linebackers and defensive backs not making the proper checks at the line of scrimmage and instead putting hobbled linebacker Bart Scott in coverage against running back Shane Vereen for one of the easiest 83-yard touchdowns of all time.
It's the sound of quarterback Mark Sanchez running face-first into guard Brandon Moore's posterior after fullback Lex Hilliard was nowhere to be found to take the handoff. Instead, the ball popped loose as a sliding Sanchez unintentionally provided a fitting image for the Jets' 4-7 start to this season.
It's the sound of Johnson's prized seat-seller Tim Tebow breathing through the pain of two fractured ribs suffered in Week 10 and apparently aggravated this past Sunday against the St. Louis Rams, forcing head coach Rex Ryan to remove Tebow from the game plan on this nationally-televised debacle.
The sound of general manager Mike Tannenbaum's theory the Jets are a good team that's been only a few plays here and there from winning a few plays blowing up for the nation to see.
The sound of tight end Dustin Keller tweeting about the fans who cheered when Sanchez was down and seemed injured for a few moments. They were surely the same fans saying "Te-bow" in unison.
"U R ridiculous + aren't real fans," Keller wrote.
The sound of noted super-fan Fireman Ed leaving the stadium at halftime, setting up an awkward moment in the second half when the post-touchdown siren that usually signals the start of his "J-E-T-S" chant went off with an imposter unsuccessfully trying to lead the cheer.
The sound of Ryan on the sideline after any one of the Patriots' seven touchdowns – SEVEN, even without Rob Gronkowski, who is out with a broken arm.
Actually, Ryan said something else, which the NBC cameras caught on a close-up. This one, unlike Johnson's muttering dismissal, is easy to spell. Just not on a family website.
No, this is actually pretty believable. There were doubts about this team coming into the season, doubts about the number of playmakers on the roster, doubts about whether Tebow's presence would be detrimental to Sanchez, doubts about the offensive line, about whether the Jets' big-talking ways over the past few seasons would catch up with them, about the chemistry in the locker room and about the depth should key players like cornerback Darrelle Revis and wide receiver Santonio Holmes go down with injuries.
It's entirely believable the Jets look nothing like the high-scoring Patriots (8-3), who keep finding players to make plays and putting them in position to make them.
The Patriots have scored 190 points in their last four games. The Jets have been outscored by 72 points in their last three losses.
TEBOW: Backup quarterback reveals broken ribs
"We have some games coming up where we really have to eliminate some of this self-inflicted stuff," said Sanchez, who was picked off in the first quarter at the Pats' 15-yard line by safety Steve Gregory, which technically wasn't Sanchez's fourth interception in the red zone this season because the play started at the 23 but was just as costly. "You eliminate some of those turnovers and we're right in the game."
That was Tannenbaum's public pitch and that's officially out the window. Reading between the lines there, Tannenbaum was surely trying to make the case he'd put together a competitive team, that the mistakes being made on the field were out of his control to a degree and that he deserves to keep his job.
But these mistakes aren't going away. And with the way Shonn Greene's fumble on a backhanded slap by Pats linebacker Brandon Spikes led right into Vereen's touchdown on the next play, and the way Sanchez's face plant into Moore's hind quarters was followed by a fumble by Joe McKnight on the ensuing kickoff that landed right in the hands of Julian Edelman for another easy touchdown, it's becoming clear the mental makeup of this team is subpar.
We'd love to let you know what Johnson thinks of this, whether he believes some drastic changes are needed and why he wasn't in his seat for the entire second half and instead disappeared into the shadows of his luxury box. But he's not talking. Not right now anyway.
Then again, maybe that grunt said it all.

What is this heat going to ruin next?
We're spoilt for variety – and value – in Australia when it comes to good riesling. Max Allen picks the top 20 from a fine crop.
As the '90s dawned, darling chefs were pushing the boundaries of cooking in this country. A young Christine Manfield, just starting out at this heady time, soon became part of the generation that redefined modern Australian cuisine. She shares some of her timeless signatures from the era.
To travel to Normandy along the Seine is to take it by stealth, writes Larissa Dubecki, who ventured forth in search of chateaux and Calvados.
Cirrus moves the Bentley team down to the water and into more lighthearted territory without sacrificing polish, writes Pat Nourse.
Counting down from 20, here are this summer's most-loved recipes.
"Think of this dessert as a deconstructed version of a summer pudding, with thinly sliced strawberries macerated in elderflower liqueur and layered between slices of brioche," says Stone. "A dollop of whipped cream on top is a cooling counterpoint to the floral flavours."
A hotdog is all about the condiments. Here, choose between a smoky red capsicum relish or the bright flavours of chimichurri, or go for a bit of both.
The restaurant and hotel scene on Australia's favourite holiday island has never been more exciting and Australian chefs, owners and restaurateurs are leading the charge, writes Samantha Coomber.
We're spoilt for variety – and value – in Australia when it comes to good riesling. Max Allen picks the top 20 from a fine crop.
"I've made all kinds of fancy cheesecakes in my time, but nothing really beats the classic combination of strawberries and almonds with a boost from vanilla bean," says Stone. "I could just pile macerated strawberries on top, but why not give your tastebuds a proper party by folding grilled strawberries into the cheesecake batter too? Cheesecakes are elegant and my go-to for celebrations because they taste best when whipped up a day in advance."
These baguette recipes are picture-perfect and picnic ready, bursting with fillings like slow-cooked beef tongue, poached egg and grilled asparagus and classic leg ham and cheese.
Massimo Bottura and more are coming to the Sydney Opera House.

I know it's been a long time since I last wrote you. The usual, work, school, and family. I finally got best qualified on my promotion. Just found out today. Now I have to wait for HQ to mail a letter to my house stating I have been officially been promoted to an Able Seaman. This has been a long time coming, and I'm glad that part is done. I also finally finished college. I did that in August. However, because of my current money situation(I was in a temporary AB slot on my last ship, then I left to go home on vacation), my pay dropped like the Titanic, so sometime after I get on my next ship, I'll apply for graduation and get my diploma sometime in 2014. I'll be getting a Bachlore's Degree in Homeland Security. I'm currently in Norfolk at a holding area MSC has called the pool. Hopefully, I'll be assigned to a ship sometime next week. I gotta get my money right. Hope to talk to you soon.
I get a week off then I go back to school after that. And thanks for congrats.
I'm just about finish with school and yeah I hear you on how boring some sites can get boring after awhile.
Hello there I have been real busy with school.So I wanted to say hi.

Thanks for the tags. I typed something in the 'personal' section, but I don't see it when i look at my profile. My privacy setting is set to 'everyone'.
Big Bro! this site really sucks. The content is outdated, no discussions. What can you do here. I think by the end of the year, I'll be deleting my account. That will be more than enough time to make changes, not to mention no one responds to your inquiry and it's been months since we've had the chance to have active discusstions. I have emailed both Chris and "the Editor" and neer got an answer. Phooey.

The Harrisburg High School boys' basketball team added to their season collection over the weekend, capturing the 2013 Carmi-White County Invitational Tournament, beating Mt. Vernon, Indiana 86-56 Saturday night.
Thanks in large part to a 32-point effort from Capel Henshaw, the senior guard took home Most Valuable Player honors at the CWCIT and helped the Bulldogs improve to 20-1 on the season as they embark on the home stretch of the season.
Tyler Smithpeters returned to action for the first time in the tournament since Monday's win against Fairfield. Smithpeters injured his ankle Tuesday at practice and was sidelined for a good potion of the week, leading up to Saturday's championship game which featured two 3-0 teams in the tournament.
Smithpeters finished with 13 points and joined Eli Taborn-Scott for the same total. Dakota Upchurch rounded out the double-digit scoring with 10 points, all of which came in the second half.
For all the scoring however, the point of emphasis for Harrisburg head coach Randy Smithpeters was the job done of the defensive end, adding he was really pleased with the Bulldogs' ability to take away the 3-pointer from Mt. Vernon.
"It's the thing that we really emphasized and it's the thing that this group is really good at," Smithpeters said. "I know a lot of people will go home talking about the shooters, the penetrators and the ball handlers that we have and we do have those, but the strength of this team is on the defensive end. We defend hard, we have the athletes to do it, the length and we can create a lot of problems for a lot of people on the defensive end. I'm really happy with (Saturday night's) effort. We didn't give up the three-pointer, like Mt. Vernon is known to knock down."
Mt. Vernon finished the night 5-of-15 from behind the arc and shot 12-of-33 from the field.
On the plus side for Harrisburg, they out rebounded Mt. Vernon 31-22, had seven steals for forced 16 turnovers.
Smithpeters knows that his Bulldogs can score — in bunches — and while that's a good trait to have, the longtime Harrisburg head coach is no stranger to the game.
"I know we'll score 75 points a game, but we also can hold people to so few that we don't have to have 75 points to win. We're going to play team's where that is going to be the case. We're not going to be able to to score 75, but we want to put our defense in a position where we can still win. I'm very happy with that effort, that focus and very happy for these guys to win this trophy."
The last time Harrisburg won the championship at the Carmi-White County Invitational was in 2010. The tournament, which has been in existence since 1980 has seen the title go to Harrisburg five times (1989, 1994, 1995, 2001 and 2010).
Page 2 of 2 - Joining Henshaw on the All-Tournament team was Ryne Roper, who scored three points in Saturday's championship game. Also on the team were the Mt. Carmel duo of Levi Laws and Reece Metcalf and Mt. Vernon's Brian Koch and Collin Varner.

Mary Margaret Hammersley, 85, resident of Springfield, formally of Eldorado, passed away Monday March 25, 2013, at the Lewis Memorial Christian Village in Springfield.
She was the only child of the late Alvis Scroggins and Lucille DeVillez Scroggins. She attended school at Lincoln Grade School and Eldorado High School. She married John Emil Hammersley and they were married for 58 years until he preceded her in death. She lived in New Orleans while John served in the U.S. Navy. Margaret lived in Eldorado many years where she operated her beauty shop, Margaret's on State Street. She was a member of College Heights Baptist Church before moving to Mt. Vernon where she attended Wesley United Methodist Church. Margaret will be remembered as a lover of Boston Terrier bulldogs, piecing and quilting many intricate quilts, and making caramels for family and friends at Christmas.
Surviving is her daughter, Louise of Springfield and son, John Lee of Eldorado. Also surviving are grandchildren, Sheri Castelli (husband Vic), Angela Sharer (husband Steve), Karyn Herndon, Jonathan Hammersley (wife Kristi), Joshua Hammersley (wife Karen) and Jordan Hammersley; great-grandchildren, Courtney and Bianca Castelli, Morgan Underwood, Austin and Rachel Sharer, Kennedy Herndon, Eva Keefe Hammersley, Christopher and Jaxson Hammersley and Chaz Garnett; cousins, Toni Conover (husband Robert) of Bradford, Tenn., Bud Watson (wife Dot) of Eddyville, Ky.; brothers-in-law Mike Hammersley (Katrina) of Shelbyville, Ind., Jim Hammersley (Catherine) of Simpson; and sister-in-law Sue Bishop (Lee) of Phoenix, Ariz. She also leaves three beloved Boston Terriers — Miss Muggins, Toby Tyler and Barney Otis.
Graveside services will be held at 1 p.m. Friday March 29, 2013, at Lindale Cemetery in Eldorado with the Rev. Russell Helton officiating. Because of Margaret's love for animals, the family has requested no flowers and that in lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to the Animal Protective League in her memory or to Lewis Memorial Christian Village, 3400 West Washington, Springfield, Ill.
The family would like to thank Dr. Michael Bova and nurses, and the staff and nurses of Lewis Memorial Christian Village for their loving compassion and care. Expressions of sympathy and condolences may be sent to the family at the website www.colonialterracefuneralhome.com
