Thanks for checking in, James...
I'm so sorry about your DIL's mother Miss Bessie...
Yours is the first family Ive known that's lost a loved one in the
April 27-28 storms. I've been to Pratt City, AL in the past and am
saddened that it's completely wrecked; and that good folks have
lost their lives.
You came awfully close to being a storm victim yourself.
Many Blessings,
Martha

Hi Martha,
We are well. The path was about a mile NW of my house. Visited the
area
Friday and the damage is extensive. My daughter-in-law's mother
was a
casualty in Pratt City. The story and picture is on the front page of
the
Birmingham News today.
Thanks to you and all the Carden listers for the expressions of
concern.
