ABSHER

At 3am on January 21, 2013 Phil Absher's Mom passed away. As Phil said, "She's Free!" Phil and his siblings took turns spending a week at a time taking care of her every need. She was in her 90's.

SADLY......

From Ed "Butch" Ludwig: With a very heavy heart, I must tell you that my Phyllis went to heaven, Sunday afternoon. She fought a battle with the flu, pneumonia set in and she had to be put on a vent in ICU. She gave me the best years of my life and I loved her with all my heart.  We will have visitation Wednesday in Taylorville, IL., and a funeral mass at St. Marys Catholic Church Thursday morning @ 11am. She also suffered a stroke while on the vent.  We were all at her side and she went comfortably. She was my angel here on earth and now she is looking after me from heaven.

HAPPY VETERANS DAY!

   Happy Veterans Day to the F.E.W. guys! There's nobody I'd like to celebrate with than all the guys from F. E. Warren. Forget High School reunions! I know you guys better than anybody I ever went to school with. It was an honor to serve with all of you. Take a moment and pray for all the members of our great military organizations that have come and gone before us!
