any second now...

My condolences to Councilman Charles Lewis and family. My father and he knew each other because his mother lives on our street and they have become regulars at the annual block parties, and because my father supported his campaign. Councilman Lewis came to one of my father's viewings and even gave a memorium during one of the council meetings earlier this year.

I cried when I saw the news last night after one of our neighbors called us to let us know. He was only 37 years old and I believe that he died from complications due to anemia. God bless his family.

Also, a friend's mother passed away last night due to ovarian cancer. Condolences and blessings to his family, too.
