Thank you for expressing interest & support in our son and a special day!! I was physically & emotionally exhausted during this day as the night before we spent 5 hours in our basement watching live coverage of the KANSAS Ef-4 two- hour tornado event only 25 minutes from our home! The video footage and photos of the damage cause me to reflect how grateful I am for peace & safety, not only physical, but emotional. In the recent summer week’s, I will be actively seeking opportunities for ways my family can be of service to our KS & MO neighbors whom have lost everything!!
