Carole, I thought about you and your family right away - and I am so glad to hear that YOU are alright and of course, also your sister and her husband.

I am so so sorry to hear about the lives lost and the buildings destroyed.
I believe that there was a landslide that has caused some problems and damage as well.

I have been to ChristChurch as well and it is just a beautiful city, so sad that this has to happen especially after the large earthquake they had last September.

I lit a candle for you and all your family. You will continue to be in my prayers.
