Japan in Our Thoughts and Prayers

Our heart-felt gratitude and thanks to those who've contacted us expressing concern about our family in Japan.

Our parents who are living in Niigata are fine, though severe aftershocks continue to rock the country and we anxiously wait to hear updates from them.

Most of our family is well and accounted for except for a beloved aunt and uncle in Sendai. It has been a heart-wrenching day as we listen to news about the continuing destruction along the coast. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the people of Japan. Now we wait...

What a wonderful resource this is at a time like this. It is good to be able to log on and find out that everything is o.k. with your family. I will pray for your aunt and uncle to be o.k.
