Tragedy and devastation are never easy to talk about, but right now our families, friends and neighbors throughout our State are hurting. Many have lost homes, belongings and livelihoods. There are no words that can describe these tragedies. There are no quick fixes, but there is prayer, hope and love of neighbor.
