Just want to inform you, and maybe you can pass this bit of information that one of our siSTARS left us on Sunday morning. Her name was Cherie Morton. She was a military service member (Navy) stationed in NSA Bahrain. She was the Career Counselor.

I was stationed in Bahrain 2004, 2005 & 2006. I met Cherie before I left but she truley was one of the most influencial siSTARS I've ever come across.

She was found on Sunday morning, face down next to her bed in her house laying in a pool of blood. Two siSTARS went to her house b/c she never showed up for work that morning.
She was part of Arabian Stars #174 out of Oklahoma Jurisdiction, 11th Masonic District.
Cherie and I met when I was part of James R. Jones Lodge #172 in Manama, Bahrain - Oklahoma, Jurisdiction. 11th Masonic District.

Cherie was 40yrs of age and leaves behind an 18yr old son which graduates high school this summer.

Please pass this on to your distro list and let's keep the Morton family in our prayers.

Thank you,

--
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men;
Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will, shepards the weak through the valley of darkness; for he is truly his Brother's keeper and the finder of lost children;
And I will strike down upon thy with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my Brothers;
And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thy.
