Bill Withers dies just as we need someone to LEAN ON..

Legendary soul singer-songwriter Bill Withers died from heart complications this week.. When headlines first appeared, many jumped to a conclusion that the coronavirus took him. It did not not. But regardless of cause, the notion that he passed away at the same time his 1972 song is inspiring a profession is tragic and profound in a paranormal way.

The death of Schuylkill county commissioner Frank Staudenmeier is starting to sink in..

News began to rumor through mills late Saturday that Staudenmeier passed away while vacationing with family in Florida..

The worst of situations greeting what should have been the most joyful of situations..

Since that moment when the news broke to the local reading area, quiet contemplation and prayer has forced so many who knew and loved the Commissioner to realize that this, really, is real.
