BARBARA JEAN WEBER MEMORIAL

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church

January 20 at 2:00pm

100 North Palmway, Lake Worth

We just lost a Shining Light today

Close friend, Barbara Jean Weber left this life this morning at 9:45 to pass into another. She was the most spiritual person I have ever known and without any doubt the sweetest. I never heard her say an unkind thing about anyone. Everyone she met was a "good" friend. She loved people and they loved her back.

She will be missed by so many and everyone she ever touched. Rest in Peace, Barbara Jean--an angel resting now with angels.

Watters' Words

"Folks, we are living in “crazy” times. ANTIFA groups want to fight fascism while using the very methods of Fascists to carry out their political agenda.

We see the Democrat Party throwing fits over monuments built to remember their own party’s forefathers and somehow managing to pin the blame for the actions of their predecessors on the party that opposed them. These are strange times we live in and Jessie Waters summed it all of perfectly." [Thomas Robinson]

The Hate group Trump also needs to condemn

Antifa is a hate group. (Christian News Alerts) – Only a truly delusion liberal can break the law in America, on video no less, and actually expect to avoid the consequences.

The Durham County Sheriff’s Department reminded leftists that the department has jurisdiction over the criminal act of the toppling of a Confederate memorial statue in Durham, North Carolina. Authorities said they will be looking to arrest those who brought it down. Those responsible could then face 10 years in prison, according to Breitbart.

Read about it...

Sick Bastards

Have you seen the video of leftists in North Carolina tearing down a Confederate statue then kicking, punching, spitting on, and flipping it off?

This was my Glen Campbell favorite of all, "By the time I get to Phoenix"--Gosh, he'll be missed and never forgotten.

Quote of the Day - Corey Stewart, Republican from Virginia

“I think Southern heritage is American heritage. Whether you were born in the South or whether you came to the South, you have an obligation to protect its history and its heritage, and it’s under attack.

You have the left, the loony left, taking down historical monuments. It’s wrong, and one of the reasons it’s wrong is, look, those monuments were placed there by a previous generation, which wanted to remind us and future generations of the horrors of war and what happened. They also wanted to remind us to give some appreciation to those who fought to defend the state. I think it’s just wrong to tear down history no matter what it is.”

Memorial for Lawrence T. Anderson

Today I met the sweetest person, Alica Anderson, widow of Lawrence Anderson. Larry was a Lake Worth High graduate and some of his school buddies were there, one coming down from Tallahassee. They say that number 3 is the charm--Larry and Alicia were married for 40 years. What a feat! Friends and family gathered at the South Florida National Cemetery for a tribute to Larry and then all were invited to the home of his sister and brother-in-law, Doris and Dennis Dorsey. He will be missed by all.

Peace Officers Memorial Day

Fly the United States Flag at Half-Staff

on Monday, May 15, 2017 in Honor of

Peace Officers' Memorial Day 2017

Peace Officers Memorial Day
President John F. Kennedy declared the first Peace Officers Memorial Day on May 15, 1962, as a tribute to peace officers and in honor of peace officers who, through their courageous deeds, lost their lives or became disabled in the line of duty. This day has been observed in our country annually ever since.

On this day, and every day, it is fitting to honor those peace officers who gave their lives to protect ours, and to thank the law enforcement officers who serve for their dedication and service to our communities.

In accordance with Flag Code section 7(m), the United States flag is to be displayed at half-staff for the entire day in honor of Peace Officers Memorial Day, Monday, May 15, 2017. By a joint resolution approved October 1, 1962, as amended (76 Stat. 676), and by Public Law 103-322, as amended (36 U.S.C. 136-137), the President has been authorized and requested to designate May 15 of each year as "Peace Officers Memorial Day" and the week in which it falls as "Police Week."

Rest in Peace, Larry

Lawrence T. Anderson

Goddess of Democracy given "the finger" by anarchist/protesters

Back on June 12, 2007,  President George W. Bush dedicated The Victims of Communism Memorial. The dedication ceremony featured the unveiling of the “Goddess of Democracy,” a bronze replica of the statue erected by Chinese students in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China in the spring of 1989. The Memorial is located at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and New Jersey Avenue, NW on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.

Marion Smith of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation said: A group of radicals on their way to a protest, organized in part by the Party for Socialism and Liberation which believes "the only solution to the deepening crisis of capitalism is the socialist transformation of society," recently descended on the Victims of Communism Memorial in Washington, DC.

For some reason they thought it would be a good idea to give the middle finger to our Memorial—literally—and then had the audacity to brag about it all over social media.

Has Freedom of speech gone too far? We have the world's freest country that allows anarchists, protesters and communists broad political liberties so that they can be disrespectful to our monuments and to our way of life.

Memories of Peter Timm

Comment Up

I was going to write a tribute to our wonderful Peter Timm who recently passed.  However, this one was written so beautifully that I wanted to share it.

I am so sorry to hear that this marvelous gentleman has passed. He was almost Dickensonian in character, and larger than life. The first time I met him I was just getting over chemo, and he held the door for me going into city hall. I was very touched, (it's not easy being bald).

I loved his feistiness and persistence in speaking his mind to the power cartel in city hall. Makes me feel like crying. He will be sorely missed. We need more like him.

Will never forget him  showing up wearing a copy of Margaret Menge's newspaper concerning the attempted takeover of our beach by Hudson Holdings.

He is one of the everyday heroes I would like to emulate as I age. Lake Worth has lost a strong and important voice and citizen.

Is there anyone, family we can write to??

Very sadly,
Mary W.
