I'm so happy your sister is okay. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like for all those people. It is so heartbreaking.
I have an 8th grade student whose great-uncle was killed in that tornado. :cry:

I live In Joplin, its a sad place right now. I have lost material things ,but doesnt seem that important. Many, many are worse off. Were a strong group of people and with the help of many volunteers things are getting better. Thanks for all the prayers. Still many are missing, so keep the prayers going.

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.

I am also looking for my cousin...I have not seen her in years but I am worried about her and her family. Her name is Shellie Lynn Ross Stiles. She was married to Ronnie Stiles. The last address I have is Carthage MO or Joplin. Does anyone know how I can locate her?
Thank You in advance and my prayers are with all of you.
