Dear friends,

Thank you for visiting and warming my heart with your kind comments and prayers.  There has been so much devastation here on Long Island.  The process is slow, but steady.

Everyone is working hard and is steadfast to rebuild and get their life back to a sense of normalcy.

We are grateful ro be staying with family and look forward blogging and visiting with all of you who are very dear to my heart soon.

Love,
Catherine

    Catherine, your family is in my prayers. My inlaws are in Rockaway and it will be some time before they can go home, but we are ever grateful for their safety and for the wonderful angels who've been working so hard to rebuild

    Catherine, I had no idea you were affected by Sandy. My thought and prayers are with you and your family. We've been through more hurricanes than we care to remember and I hope your life will be back to normal soon. I know how difficult it can be.

    Catherine, Keep your chin up and maintain that positive attitude! I must admit that I would be very distraught if I was in your situation...but the only real choice is to move forward. Thankfully you have the support of your family and friends. I miss you and your blogs and hopefully it won't be too long before you're back on line. Wishing you and yours the best... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    Oh dear Catherine. I had no idea your family has been affected by the storm. We've been working around the clock with FEMA and the tree service companies to try and get things back to some kind of normalcy. It will be a slow yet steady process.

    Stay well, dear Catherine. Hope to "see" you real soon:) Louise

    I've never experienced anything on the magnitude of Sandy, but VA has its share of bad storms (the summer derecho being one example--lost power for 8 days). I can empathize with what you are going through. I hope that everything returns to normal soon.

    Hi Catherine, I didn't realize that you were so physically close. I'm only a train ride away -- so let me know if there is anything I can bring. Take good care and know that you are in my prayers!

    Oh, Catherine! I had no idea! I will pray for you and Tammy and the rest of your family. I read your previous post... what a tragedy. My heart goes out to you. I hope that you were able to save some of your things if you had a second floor, as you said your main floor was destroyed. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and, again, my heart goes out to you.
    Love,
    Gloria
