How is your fur babies doing? What a wonderful vet there in Waco, to care for them without charging is truely showing dedication to his/her profession.

We are so thankful that their are those willing to give from their hearts to help others out. We never know from one day to the next when any of us could be confronted with having to go through things such as you have, if ever I have to, I pray that I will be as strong as you have been.
Oh my gosh, when I reread all that you went through continuing on to get to Waco, I can only say what a brave lady you are. Your love for your Son and Daughter and seeing first to their needs, how very blessed they are to have a Mother like you.

We will not only be praying for your well being but also the financial situation you are having to deal with. I truely belive you will be able to handle whatever, with your strong faith, knowing God will be over seeing all that you are confronted with, HE will provide your needs.
Your Friends, Patti and Jack and Girls.

Thank you Patti, for the words of encouragement. I have no boubt all will be ok. Every day that we live is another chance to get it right. I hold on to this and has gotten me thru some pretty rough situations. I will continue to pray for you and Jack for your health and happiness. Your are truly a special lady.

I have great expectations and will count my blessings in my heart the whole way. You know, in this world all we have is each other to hold on to..I think in the grand scheme of things it was meant to be that way. My family here has stepped up to meet me, and renewed my faith in a lot of things...makes you want to go out and hug a tree don't it? I will never forget my friends getting me thru this. Never.

Awwwww- your post gave me that warm fuzzy feeling too

Denise - you ARE going to make it thru this.

You go hug that tree girl - just make sure it's one that's still standing ....you don't want to go thru all this only to have a freakin tree fall on you right ?

You have all been so sweet to me. I look forward to going home tomorrow and check things out first hand for myself. My son called, they had just made it back from Mt. Pleasant. That's where they evacuated to..they have to be near a hospital that is equiped for Nathan (my grandson with the pacemaker I had told you all about a few months ago) just in case. They got out days before the storm. Anyway, they came home to black mold everywhere. Luckily, his wife's mom lives nearby so they have a place to stay. If you would keep them in your prayers too.

Hoping to get back to work wednesday. This has really been an ordeal, but i wasn't alone, thanks for that. Tomorrow is a new day.

[Zanders' mom]

It was great talking to you Sunday and even better reading now that you will be headed home soon. Glad that your home is still there and that your power is back on.

Our electricity is still out, the heat is getting unbearable, I'm considering getting my 2 furkids shaved ....

God be with you on your way back home, may He send angels to you to help repair your home soon.

Hugs, Annie

[Stella's mom]

Have a safe trip home tomorrow. You, your family and the many others dealing with this tragedy are in my thoughts and prayers.

Denise, I am so happy you will finally get to go home! I know you dread what you may find, but sometimes it's not nearly as bad as you imagine. Please, please be careful and know that we are all praying for a good outcome for you and your children. God bless and protect all of you!

Yeah!!!! Homeward bound! I wish you safe travels and hope everything gets back to normal as soon as possible down there.

[Gizmo's Mom]

That we are leaving for home now. The cell that I have been using is my Dad's so I won't have it after tomorrow. Villette has my home number. Thanks again for everything, I did find out we traveled almost 300 hundred miles so don't know how long it will take to get home. Have a great day everyone, you deserve it.

[hartygirl]

Good to hear you are going home!
I am praying that you find everything safe and sound. Have a safe trip and let us know as soon as you can when you make it! Stay positive!

[ARCHIE]

Drive and be safe. I hope and pray you don't find too much damage to
your home and property. I can't imagine going through what you just
experienced. Your very strong girl, thank heavens for that.
I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayer's.


Be safe,

[Baby Blessing]

Has anyone gotten any word on Denise and children getting home?

Denise, Andy, and Amy we are keeping you each in our thoughts and prayers, that the trip home went smooth.
We were so happy to hear your older son, and family all got back safely.
Hope your furbabies did well traveling home.
((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) from the both of us,
Jack and Patti
