Other than our prayers what else can we do for you?
People from everywhere have helped one way or another. I think just getting back to normal as much as we can, is going to help. Thanks, just knowing so people care, helps.
If there is anything we can do, please let us know. I'm so glad you are all safe. Things can be replaced.
My sister lost her home back in February of this year. It burned completely to the ground. They lost absolutely everything. The horrible thing was that they had no insurance. No one was injured, and they are slowly getting their lives back to normal. The things she misses the most are family photos, Christmas ornaments that I started buying her beginning with her first Christmas (she's about 18 years younger than me), and various collectibles that cannot be replaced. As awful as it has been for her, my BIL, and my 2 nieces and nephew there have been some wonderful things that have come because of the tragedy.
You will be amazed by what will come. ;-) I will pray for you, your family and all the others in Joplin and the surrounding area. From everything I have heard on the news here in Michigan, your community is very strong. You will survive this.
