| Julie Hogan, 86 of Moline, passed away June 26, 2009 from injuries sustained in a car accident in LaSalle County, IL. Funeral services will be Friday, July 3rd at 11:00 a.m. at Esterdahl Mortuary & Crematory, Ltd., 6601-38th Avenue, Moline. Visitation will be from 4:00-7:00 p.m. on Thursday at the funeral home.

UPDATE JULY 2
I just returned from Julie's visitation & spoke to several family members about David's condition. He is serious, but stable. He has a large laceration to his forehead, and many broken & crushed ribs. He had surgery to repair a torn aorta upon his arrival (by air ambulance) at the hospital. He is still on a ventilator but is slowly being taken off of it. With a mouth and throat full of tubes he isn't speaking but is communicating with doctors and family. They have had him sitting up some and that, to me, is a good sign. The address at the hospital is: Saint Francis Medical Center 5301 NE Glen Oak Ave. Peoria, IL 61637. He is in room 4112, and will be for a while. This link will get you to the hospital where you can send an internal e-card to him: http://www.osfsaintfrancis.org/index.html/ There was a story published today and here is that link:: http://qconline.com/archives/qco/display.php?id=446886 . Please keep David and the family in your prayers.
