Thanks for the post, I was wondering if any of us got hit. Thank God she is alive and assume and hope the dogs too. Most scary thing to survive, you have to be on the news, that's how help arrives. Hope and pray more help arrives and keep us posted. Think of your blessings, you are ALIVE AND BEING HELPED. Paint you are a warrior, keep it up. Love, Alma

Thanks, Dave! It is helpful that you are able to pass the word along about PaintWarrior. How wonderful that she has been surrounded by people who want to help. They are our hands and feet, because we are so far away. She is a fighter! So thankful she is alive and that people are coming to her aid. Thanks, again, Dave. Please keep us posted.

I'll try to respond again. Glad Darlene is OK and getting the assistance she needs. Hope her furry children are OK too. Thanks Dave for letting us know.

Gentle hugs, Linda

This could have been devastating, and thank the Lord that Darlene is alive through this. Reading her account of the days she endured in the tornadoes was scary for me, I cannot imagine what she went through. Her higher power was certainly looking over her shoulder.

Everyone here has said such beautiful things, I cannot add more, so I will just send my warmest regards to Paint. Thanks for keeping us posted Dave, you are a good friend.
