A sad note

My brother next to me tested positive for the virus Sunday the 18th. I didn’t think it was going to be a big deal. He was in ICU at Lancaster General since the 21st. He passed away yesterday,he was 70. He worked with me for 35 years in the business. He retired Oct 1st. I’m going to miss him. Dennis

Dennis, I not only grieve for your loss, but also for those that still think it's a hoax. Be safe. It's real.

Condolences, Dennis.


Unfortunately, in my conservative circles, many are still viewing this virus as a hoax and over-politicized propaganda.
I'm afraid most of them will be convinced otherwise in a harsh way.
In my studies of life and search for wisdom, it seems the scoffer is ultimately found to be the fool.

Prayers in your loss.
And prayers for clarity, unity, mutual respect and ideological healing for our current generations.
