Michelle and I send our congratulations to a fellow Chicagoan, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV. This is a historic day for the United States, and we will pray for him as he begins the sacred work of leading the Catholic Church and setting an example for so many, regardless of faith.
Seeing so many vehicle accidents on the news with lives tragically taken. So many young lives being taken away so soon. I truly pray and hope this is a wake up call for those in the DTO and LTO to find ways to ensure that drivers and vehicles on the roads meet the highest safety and licensing standards. My heart goes out to all those left to grieve for their parents, significant other, family member and their children🙁
