I've never experienced such a violent side of nature and I hope I never do. I like the way you end on a positive note... enduring spirit of survival. Thank you, MaryGrace. Love and peace,

Charley was headed for Tampa Bay (my home)before turning into Southwest Florida. I can tell you we walked around here with 'survivor's guilt' for months afterwards, knowing that he was our storm and in sparing us, others were hurt or lost. Bless all of you who have had to suffer in our stead. Michelle
