Many of our friends and family are still out. The cold nights are the worst with no heat. My heart breaks when i see the families in Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Queens that were in the cross hairs. So many good stories too, of people driving trucks of food, water and clothes from the Carolinas and further. jerseypauliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524795451123779266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515095700241511531.post-57586103458616161722012-11-08T05:40:34.516-05:002012-11-08T05:40:34.516-05:00Heart-wrenching!

It's heartwarming though, to see how you and others have pitched in to help them get back on their feet. I know it will be a long time until things get back to "normal." I delivered bags of supplies to a local store that was taking things to Staten Island, but if you know of more places where people can donate, or help in other ways, please post them on your blog or on your facebook page. I just love the story about Uncle Dominic making room for everyone. What a wonderful family you have.Ciao Chow Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479595368522070565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515095700241511531.post-89158742891212565492012-11-05T07:48:32.699-05:002012-11-05T07:48:32.699-05:00Our prayers are with your family.

We live in the area that was devastated by tornadoes last year, and I understand the feeling of looking around in shock and disbelief, spending long hours trying to help with clean up, and staying up all night to cook food to hand out with hot coffee. I wish there was a way we could help you. Please know we will hold you and your family in our prayers.Melissa Maxwell Moorenoreply@blogger.com
