Letters

 Thank you does not cover the way we feel about the outpouring of love for Lawrence.

To all friends and neighbors, we thank you. Special thanks to Donnie Snellen, Mike Spurlock and Kenny Holder. They’re like our brothers. 

All of Lawrence’s buddies (there are too many to list), we thank you.

We give much appreciation to Mark Williams, the Shepherdsville Police Department, the Hillview Police Department, Pioneer Village and the mayor. Special thanks to Bro. George Blevins, Bro. Jimmy and Martha, and Bro. Tim; we love you all.

 This Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, the 40-day period before Easter, when many Christians abstain from animal foods in remembrance of Jesus’ 40 days of fasting in the desert before launching his ministry.

But meat-free Lent is much more than a symbol of religious devotion to  Christ. It helps reduce the risk of chronic disease, environmental degradation, and animal abuse.

 My husband, my sisters and I want to commend the personnel at Jewish South Medical Center, Bullitt County EMS, 911 Dispatch and Zoneton Fire Department for their professionalism over the last several months in responding to many 911 calls for my brother.

The care and concern they gave my brother who ultimately passed away on Jan. 20, 2015, at Jewish South was comforting at such a traumatic time.

They did everything possible to save him and support the family. 

 I don’t understand why they put a traffic light at the intersection of Hebron and new Highway 61.

There is not enough traffic on Hebron Lane to warrant this new light. It is too close to the traffic light at John Harper.

I hope they are not considering  more traffic lights along the new Highway 61 from John Harper and Bells Mill Road.
