My condolences to those in Upshur County.

I got home from work tonight to see that CNN reported that 12 miners at the Sago Mine were reported alive only to find out that were dead and only 1 has been found alive and fighting for his life. I saw joy and happiness quickly replaced by sadness and anger.

I send my condolences to the families and friends of those who died. It is just horrible.

2. Thank you.

I went to bed when I heard some of the miners were alive and actually well enough to reunite with their families waiting at the Baptist chruch. The news which came later was devastating.

My heart goes out to those from my native state. We had a mine death in my brother-in-law's family years ago of a young man just starting out his life.
