I am holding everyone in my prayers right now,who are involved in this tragic occurrence,including those families whose lives now,are dominated by the anxious wait for news of their loved ones. So sad.

How dreadful.My heart goes out to everyone involved.

Thank you Steffi and English Country Dancer. I still haven't heard from my son or his wife. Keep praying for the recovery teams. It must be terribly dangerous with all the cement and metal being pushed by the currents of the river. Minneapolis also had a downpour of rain to slow the recovery down.

Love,
Vicky

I can't imagine the horror....your son might suffer some post traumatic stress. No eyes should have to witness what he is seeing right now.

Thoughts and prayers,
Paula

Praying for all the people in Minneapolis. What a tragedy. My heart goes out to you.

Vicky...I can only imagine your anxiety knowing that you have family members involved in this rescue...but, even midst this anxiety, there must be a very real sense of pride in what your family members are doing for those people. I know, too, that your great faith will sustain you during what must be a very difficult time for you.
