My dear friend Lisa and her family are suffering a terrible lose today. Her dear Mother was found dead today around noon in her bed by her brother. Her Mom's name is Corinne. Please pray for this family. Corinne's granddaughters were deeply in grief as I comforted them when they got word since I was there. I have not seen Lisa yet but can only imagine. Corinne was healthy and mid 60's further adding to the shock of this all. Thank you!

NORFOLK - Twenty years ago today, a routine exercise turned into disaster aboard the USS Iowa when an explosion in a gun turret killed 47 crewmen.

They will gather at Iowa Point, where a small memorial at the water's edge pays tribute to the fallen sailors. Crew and family members will speak, and Norfolk Mayor Paul Fraim will offer remarks. The names of the dead will be read...

9 years ago I met a lovely woman named Regina..she has brain cancer... 9 years later after an honarable fight she is prepared for death. She has battled her brain cancer for 12 years and now it is time for her to pass.

Bloomberg said the decision to move the sixth anniversary commemoration...
