Dental Implants: A Great Option for Replacing Missing Teeth It is most unfortunate that some people will lose one or more teeth over their lifetime. Thankfully there are several solutions to replace missing teeth. The newest way is through the use of dental implants. A dental implant is a post that gets inserted into the jaw bone. Af-

The advantages of writing your own obituary is you get to say what you want and list the people according to importance in your life. Although I made lots of friends, the ones mentioned became very close to my heart and were always there no matter what was going on in our life. Family, on the other, had their own things to do. “Some people come into our lives and quickly go, some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same.” To them I say “thanks from the bottom of my heart.” He is survived by family, but more importantly, dear friends George and Carol Sourtamyer of Madison, Milton and Pamela Had-

As for the rest, I also told you my thoughts, like them or not.
