Ms Wallace's statement, "The sadness is just as palpable as the smoke still rising from the ruins.".... so poignant.
I am moved to write a note to her, the Moores, Chief Micco & the VFD, town council, the churches, bank & any others whose addresses I can find in whitepages.com. I hope others of you will do likewise; caring messages from afar will be wonderful encouragement for the good folks whose little town has another huge burden to endure.
Ms Moore's tearful comments broke my heart. She had heart & soul invested in her business. and the legendary chicken fried steak dinners..... I know you "walkers" are particularily saddened.... hugs to you.
I hope the businesses were adequately insured, but even so the fiscal loss is devastating to the municipal coffers. The Roundup Cafe was 2nd in sales tax revenues, so probably the grocery store was #1. That's a big hit for a small town. Weleetka will be in my prayers.
Happy birthday Taylor... we promise to continue seeking justice.
