I have only listed some of the contributions of Reverend William P. Weeks Jr.  Sadly to say, Reverend Weeks was killed in an automobile accident on September 16, 1990.  He was survived by his wife Donna, daughters, Jeannine and Kathy, son John, stepson David, and mother Ness Weeks and brother Jerry Weeks.

Later this week I will publish a picture of Reverend Weeks.

At this time, I am sure everyone has heard about the Tornado in Joplin, Missouri.  This blogger would like to express her sincerest thoughts and wishes for their recovery from this terrible disaster.
