We Are Home!

Dear Friends and Family,

We were given the OK to return home today. It's Saturday afternoon and the kids and I have just arrived back to our home sweet home! Thank you to everyone for your concern and the many prayers of safety that were said for us. I know God was with us and gave me such a peace and a calmness during the whole evacuation process as I proceeded through with the details without Jerry here to lead and guide me along. We miss our Jerry, the leader of our home and family who provided us with such a sense of protection and security. I thank God too for our dear neighbors who made sure we were taken care of and provided for; for our dear church families who were ever so gracious and loving and allowed us, along with several others, to crash at their homes at 2:00 am the morning we were told to leave our house; and for the many local friends who called to make sure we had gotten out OK and offered up their homes as well for us to stay at. We love each of you and thank you for loving us and taking such good care of us. We are grateful, and I know Jerry looks down with such pride knowing that there are so many of you who meet our needs in his absence, and who love us so.

Love,

Candy, Natalie and Joshua
