I have prayed to St. Anthony (I'm Catholic) to find help and peace of mind for them, and to find any missing loved ones. I also gave a donation to the Red Cross online. The Red Cross is wonderful and they are always the first ones there. Again, wonderful post.<br />Best,<br />GloriaGloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089446185793581415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-52403122852694112572011-05-24T18:19:16.389-07:002011-05-24T18:19:16.389-07:00Thank you, Patti ...

I just blog what I had planned and it seemed so... gosh, what's the word - pitiful that I am whining, but I wrote the blog before the tornado, so of course I wrote a PS about Geoff and now I'm just consumed in hoping to find him. It is emotionally draining. Thanks for your thoughtfulness and for all the stuff you've been doing on FB too! Much love.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05296300032567383021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-20598604697242890572011-05-24T07:21:05.370-07:002011-05-24T07:21:05.370-07:00It is hard to believe that anything can do that mu...It is hard to believe that anything can do that much damage--the pictures on the news were heartwrenching. We, technically, are part of Wichita, but live 2 miles from Andover. All my kids went to school in Andover. I saw the tornado of 1991 coming when I looked out the window. Many of our friends lost their homes that night, and much of the town was reduced to rubble. I have a healthy respect for nature and its power. I join you in sending out prayers to the people of Joplin.<br /> Hugs, Mickieforgetmenothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10389986333606868436noreply@blogger.com
