I remember a guy came by our neighborhood in his company truck handing out food and he was crying so hard he could hardly talk. I said, 'Don't cry it's okay we all have insurance here, it's okay' That was a scene I shall forever remember. Not that you needed this much information!

oh wow, this one is so sad and heartfelt because it was tragically true. I don't have something like this that I can write of thankfully.

Judy Konos
Date: 2/7/2016 12:23:00 AM

No I imagine that you do not...but when Andrea decides to go over the top...this would wind up sounding like a bubble bath...that's how good you are...

I know the story is true Judy - time really stood still for some on that terrible day - the image is so poignant:-( hugs Jan xx

The sadder part is the poem is true. Two other friends were literally blown out of their house landing in a tree for 3 days. Oh and that's Nancy's personal clock denoting the exact time Katrina came in to our neighborhood. Thank you for stopping, appreciate it
