Whispers at Elmwood (Updated)
Slabbed has been told that a spouse of a sitting Jefferson Parish Council member died unexpectedly over the weekend. My sourcing is solid but I am withholding the name pending confirmation.
Update:
A reader pointed me to Drew Broaches twitter feed for confirmation. Stewart Sheng died unexpectedly. Our condolences to the Sheng family.
