A time to mourn

The Bible says it best:

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: ... A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; ...

Ecclesiastes 3:1 & 3:4

The Linn County and Iowa Republican families are mourning and weeping today on the passing of Senator Mary Lundby. At the same time Representative Rosemary Thomson has suffered a stroke and been removed from life support.

When I was a newcomer to politics, these two ladies were among the pillars in the Linn County Republican party. I have come to know and respect both of them over the years. 

My prayers go out to the Thomson and Lundby families.

Mary's funeral will be on Wednesday, January 21^st at 1:00 pm at

St. Joseph Parish
1790 14th Street
Marion, IA

Cards may be sent to the Lundby family at:

1240 14th Street

Thanks, Dave, for letting us know this sad news. I just dropped Mary's family a note. She was always kind, always irascible, always funny, always wry. I'll miss her.
