Henry Wade: Prayers for our loved ones

I would like to take this opportunity to offer my prayers and well wishes to the families affected by the devastating storm Sandy.

Here in Arizona, we are so blessed to not experience such devastating and often life changing catastrophes. Like many of you, having family members and friends living in the affected areas, Gayle and I have been on pins and needles listening to the reports of the storm and now the damage it has caused.

I hope and pray life loss will be minimal and those assigned to search and rescue operations remain strong and effective in their efforts.

It is times like these we need each other most, and as in any emergency we have experienced we always manage to rise to the occasion in support of our fellow Americans. I am sure there will be no difference now.

May God continue to bless you all and watch over your loved ones in harm’s way.
