***UPDATE*** Prayers are being answered! I received news this evening that the homes of my relatives were spared!!! Hallelujah! My great uncle is still hospitalized, but is off the critical list. My cousin, who at first we had heard had multiple leg fractures….but after finally receiving an X-ray was told she has no broken bones, just really banged up. Praise God. I am so thankful they have homes to return to. But so many do not. The wheels are in motion to HELP in a big way. I will keep you posted! I would not want you to miss out on how YOU could help Joplin. I cannot give thanks enough your outpouring of kindness and concern.
First of all I just need to say….. THANK YOU! Bless you all for the out pouring of concern and prayer for my family, in Joplin, Missouri. I am not a news watcher so when I saw Kristens status on facebook I GASPED, because this is what I saw. I called my mom, who lives in Florida, she had also not heard the news…this set us on a trail of phone calls to find out the scoop.
My son says these are the best cookies ever. All I know is they helped this gal get through the day yesterday.
Saying a special prayer for your family! {{HUGS}}

Oh no! I'm so sorry for your family's loss. Prayers and love are with you and your family Friend.
So very sorry for your loss. I'm in Denver now but from St Louis and have relatives near Joplin and felt fortunate that they all escaped the devastation of the storms in those areas so it especially difficult reading how hard this has hit your family. I may not live there now but I am a Missouri girl and this news is heartbreaking to hear; my thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family
I am so sorry for your loss. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
Sheila…my heart breaks for your family. How did I miss this??? I am praying for complete recovery of your cousin and uncle! Praise God the house has been spared!!! I am so sorry about the loss of your Great Aunt Dorthy. WoW, 96! I will continue to pray.

I am like yourself and when i feel helpless I cook or bake. It is all i know to do! I am with you girl in heart and spirit.
So sorry to hear about the loss of your Great Aunt Dorothy. We are praying for your family and all the people of Joplin. Thank you for your efforts to help this community that you have such a special connection with.
