Annie Griffey’s response to Helene
I have thank-yous to three young folks who have the courage of their convictions
To my cousin Erin Marvin who had three shipments of basic supplies and waterhelicoptered in from volunteer pilots from Hickory in the early days after the flood. Two landed on the Cemetary down the street.
The seond to a former 4th grade student Hannah who traveled from Missouri WTH a 24 ft UHaul full of generators and cleaning supplies to Marshall
And lastly to my son Adam who came back to Marshall from his job to volunteer for cleanup and cooking at Nanostead for the last few weeks
Deep love and thanks to all who stood up and stepped up
INDIGO DESOUZA AND SHANNON DAVM ARE ARTISTS WHO LIVED IN A CHURCH THAT WAS FLOODED IN MARSHALL
