A prayer for our top planner

Regardless of your faith, I'd like to ask each of you to say a prayer or send good thoughts to Joe Lassus, head of Brentwood's Planning and Codes department.
Joe and his family learned early this week he may have a brain tumor. He is now in Vanderbilt ICU and his doctors are working on a plan of action.
City Manager Mike Walker has been keeping city staff and commissioners informed on developments.
"I have told Joe that his primary focus for us now is on full recovery and not on day-to-day work. Knowing his 'Cajun' determination and spirit, I am confident he will recover. Your positive support and encouragement will be essential to his recovery too," Mike wrote in his first update.
For now, Jeff Dobson will assume the lead role in the planning section and Tim Harrington for the codes section, Mike says.
And in the meantime, start those prayer chains.
