I think respect for the dead went out the window a while back. I was part of a funeral procession a week ago and I was in a vehicle that had blue lights flashing on it and people on the other side of the road still didn't stop, at least not completely. They just kept easing along trying to get through the light before it turned red. Respect for the dead? Not in this town.

Ihave been in doctors’ offices when someone would come out and ask personal health questions to their patients in front of everyone waiting. This is wrong and my heart went out to the patients that were done this way.

Some women don't have the luxury of being a stay- at-home-mom. Just because a woman works doesn't mean their child is any different than the mother staying home. It is all in how you love and raise them.

The issue of personal health privacy does need to be addressed by our local medical employers. I am glad someone is finally speaking out about this. Train your employees better and fire gossipers to set examples.

Instead of building additions to SGMC, they should fix the leaking roof. During the recent heavy rain the room I was in had a pretty good downpour through the ceiling.

Parents, please enroll your boys to play spring baseball at the Boys and Girls Club; even if your child did not make one of the middle school teams, they can play at the club and have a good time. The system is different this year and should be much better.

Thanks to Dr. Delaney and his wonderful staff at Azalea City Animal Hospital for their great work. They are very friendly and caring people.

So a mother who works outside the home does not have a “well-loved child”? I guess that means that I will love my child more if I stay home and collect welfare.
