Feb 22: My sister Linda was frantic to get hold of us.

In the blast we lost our cell phones, glasses and our computers were still in the house. We had no way to call family because like most people, we use their names on the cellphone to call them. I am one of 12 kids so remembering any one phone number is an issue for us.

Barbara & Keith...PLEASE CALL YOUR FAMILY.....

Linda finally tracked us down by way of Marty Meersman who had his Marty's Waffles number posted on the facebook page. He had posted some thing with my name and Linda saw that on Sunday morning.

I removed the phone numbers from these...

  Jana Albritton Hi! My husband is with Barbara and Keith now. I relayed your message and she asked me to respond... They are okay but have no phones or contacts, she will get in touch as soon as she can. She wants you to know she is absolutely fine. They are with neighbor/friends at the moment.

  Joyce West Just heard from my contact Marty. A neighbor 's daughter came to check her parent's home at the end of the street, saw B&K and said they are doing remarkably well. Friends down there will share our phone numbers with them. Stay tuned.

  Kris Yohe SO grateful B&K are okay. Wondering, mostly for their sakes, about their cats.

  Linda Hemmingway Kaczmarski Family & Friends....I just spoke with Barbara and she wanted me to let everyone know they are both OK and so are their cats. Meeting tomorrow with insurance folks and will put them up until more can be decided on the house etc, B said she would post herself later or have someone for her in her words since she does not have her glasses. She is in very good spirits and still has her sense of humor..good to hear that. Sends her love & thanks to all. Linda her favorite sister...haha (family joke)
