Title: Serious Moments
Post by: MikeBjerum on May 20, 2013, 08:24:39 PM
Tonight as we remember those hit in recent days by deadly storms, and today it was a school with many children as victims that hits us hard, let us all remember our good friends who live and work so close to where this happened:  Rastus and Mike Seeklander within 100 miles and along the path the storm would track if it kept going; Marshal and M'ette to the northeast in south central Kansas; Cooptire north of Moore in south central Kansas; our friend Rob Pincus in Wichta, KS tonight; and so many of our other family and friends in the area.

As I type this the reported death toll is climbing through the fifties with many of them being young children.

Let's take a little time tonight and this week to remember what is really important, to give thanks for our safety, and to remember those touched no matter how close or distant.

To all the DRTV family in these areas please keep yourselves and your family safe from harm.
I just was watching the devastating tornado that hit Oklahoma and it looks terrifying.
You are all in my thoughts.
