As the mother of a South Bend Police Officer my thoughts and prayers also go out to the family, friends and fellow Officers of Scott Severns. The tears have flowed freely this week not only for the Severn family but also for all of his fellow officers. My greatest joy is knowing that Scott, my son and all of the South Bend Police Officer's have willingly dedicated their lives to the protection of their community at the risk of their own lives. May God bless and protect all of them. Linda

Hi Folks, Been out of town for the past 4 1/2 days visiting with family and doing some of my own family research, now that I am back will start again adding to the web site. There has been many items submitted to me and it will take some time to get all of these up on the pages, so please bear with me. I am taking the items as they have came to me but will be adding Rick's newspaper tidbits as they come in since these are easier to post and only takes seconds to add. I still have several disks of pictures of the Ladewski files to add and probably at this time about 2000 obits to add. I have a very busy schedule during the next few months so will be doing what I can to get things added. If you think that I have overlooked one of your items please feel free to e-mail me and I will let you know if I received your post. Added 2 photo's that were missing from the "B" section and 1 from the "C" section of the _Ladewski Papers_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~instjose/LadewskiPapers/luckysworld.htm) . ************************************************************************ Sharon Gill Vanden Bossche Home Page: http://www.geocities.com/sharonv45/index.html E-mail: [email protected] Visit - Honoring my Family Veteran's http://www.freewebs.com/sharonv45/index.htm Hostess of ST.
