"We would like to take the time to Thank
everyone who has helped us get started again after the devastating tornado.
Our home was destroyed along with most of its contents. The help of clothes,
furniture, household items, toys and money have helped us get a new start.
We are very grateful for all the support we have recieved from the community
and family. We recieved so many donated items that we were able to donate to
other tornado victims in the area. We went to the mobile home parks and
apartment complexes on the street and donated some of the items we could not
use or had duplicates of. The items that were donated did not go to waste
and were accepted with love by other victims. We were fortunate enough to
have a place to live the day the tornado hit thanks to my brother and his
family. We were able to furnish our home thanks to the family and community
in Illinois. We were able to give our children clothes and toys thanks to
the many people who donated through out the community. We would like to
thank Deltona High School, where Ken works, for the money and gift cards.
Thank you to the Penkala family in Illinois for the monetary dontation. Our
family is very grateful for the outpouring of support we we recieved.
From our Family to yours we Thank you,
Jenn, Aaron, Bethany, Ethan and Lorelai
Ken and Jimmy Barnes"
