Re: Update from Ann (HFMito@cableone....)

[Guest guest]

Thank you for taking the time to update us all. I myself would be going

nuts not having word of family and friends. Buildings can be replaced,

but not keepsakes and life. Please try to remember that you are still

here to care about others and for that you are blessed.

Hugs,

Ann

I am glad that you are safe where you are and that hubby and parents

are okay. I hope you hear from your cousins soon.

The pictures look terrible. I can't think of how horrible it is to be there.

I's good that your safe, the devastation has been unreal. I live in

the Ohio River Valley and Katrina passed through here last night. It

was just a whimper when it came thru, no damage, just much needed

rain. No flooding reported here so far. I'm so sorry for what you

all are going through.
