Thanks, Summer!

While watching the sad news on the tv, my first thoughts were that I hoped that no sister lost a loved one.

A similiar incident can happen at any time, anywhere, almost any industry.

When I went down to watch the Sugar Bowl parade last Sunday, as a UGA fan, I was surrounded by WV fans. The few that I met were very very nice (okay there were a couple of exceptions, lol).

When my brother was in college, he dated a Hatfield..yea. one of those, lol, and went to visit her. He remarked about what a beautiful state it was.

It shows that no matter what part of the country (or world) you are from, we are all humans with the same feelings.

It's a small state but that only brings everyone closer.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, your friends and your State.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone. Being right next door to y'all, I know what this will bring to the small world they all once lived in.

God watch over and protect you all.

Of course our thoughts and prayers go out to the miners and their families. What a horrible tragedy.
