Our Thoughts and Prayers go out to the many families that have been impacted by the horrible storms and tornadoes that hit our Fourstate Area on May 10, 2008.
In an effort to help people understand the grief that goes with Natural Disasters we have set up a "Disaster Grief" Website Page. (see above) or click this link: http://kapstonehouse.org/_wsn/page2.html This has many resources to help families, friends, educators, and loved ones with this terrible tradgedy. Please check back as there may be more links and downloads available.
