Prayers for tornado victim
« on: December 30, 2006, 02:14:43 PM »
Lyndal Wilkerson lost her home in the tornado that come through the Cleburne/Rio Vista area yesterday.  It killed one of her horses and I understand they are going to have to put down another, thank God she is okay.  Her house and barn are completely gone.  For those of you who may not know Lyndal she has been a barrel racer around here for years.  I don't think she has any insurance and could use our prayers and help.  I will post more information when I find out.

My Prayers go out to her.  Mary Etta as soon as you find out about that let me know and I will try to have it in place by Monday.

Oh my gosh, Lyndal!  I don't think I know you but my heart and prayers go out to you.  About a year and half ago straight line winds took out our workshop and a room in my house.  Thank God I was not hurt, even though I was in the house.  I sure do know how scary that can be.  I am very sorry to hear about your horses, they are so like family to us all. 
Dear Lord, please give Lyndal comfort and peace right now as only you can.  Please let her feel your love and the love of others surround her now in her time of need.  Thank you, in Jesus name, Amen.
Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea!

I went to Lyndal's today and it is really devistating - the whole area has a lot of destruction.  So hard to see those things we treasure, that can't be replaced ruined and gone, plus loosing your animals, that is so awful.  It is by the grace of God that Lyndal made it through, the outside wall of the closet she was in is gone, it is amazing that she wasn't sucked out too.  I heard that Shellie McQuarie's barn was damaged too, I am not sure of the extent of it yet.  I am going to have a jar on Monday at the barrel race if anyone would like to help out.

Thanks everyone for your prayers!

I have driven by her house.  It is horrible to see, its like 3/4 of the way up the walls of the house everything was ripped off and thrown to the sky.   Stuff was scattered all over everywhere.  My prayers go out to her.  My prayers went out to everyone that I knew was in the path of that Tornado the day I stood in the front yard watching it.

I will be setting her up an account so you can make donations to help her.  I will post the link when I get the page set up.  Mary Etta said Lyndal was staying with a friend and had her horses with her, and that she has plenty of clothing now so hopefully we can help her with things she is going to need.

Geez, I dont see how she survived that.  The good Lord was watching over her.

Just got back from Lyandal's house.  BIG THANKS TO JACKIE DAVENPORT for coming over and barrying (sp?) the mare.  He was there within minutes and it didnt take him long.  There was family and friends there going thru things doing their best to recover what they could.  I got to see the closet that Lyndal was in and I dont know how she didnt get sucked out becasue there was no back side to it.  Took lots of pics and video hopefully something will come of it. 

Im trying to get a donation account set up for her and hopefully have it going by in the morning so if you can help in anyway please open your heart and checkbook for her.   I will post the link when I get it going.
