Update from Darren ...

Darren sent this to me today.
Darren & Shannon, our thoughts are with you. I'm so sorry you have to go through something like this. Please let me know if there's anything any of us can do. Love you both, Stephanie

I'm sorry to have to report that Shannon & I got some bad news this morning. Shannon's grandmother, Mary Batta Drury, passed away last night. She was in her 80's and could not walk. The nursing home where she lived was located near Chateau Estates in Kenner, LA. They did not evacuate before the storm, but there was no flooding in the building and minor wind damage to a few rooms. However, they did lose electricity and water. A generator was used for electricity, but there was still no air conditioning or water, so conditions were very bleak. As of yesterday, they were supposed to be evacuated to Dallas, TX, but she didn't make it. We have no idea what they will do with her remains. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
