all these boys/guys are from the community I live in. One of them is the boyfriend of my best friend Marcie's little sister, Theresa. After 24 hours, the probability of finding any of them alive is dwindling. Please, keep my community, these men & their families in your thoughts & prayers. We are all praying for a miracle now.

I am heartbroken, as there isn't much I can do for my friends at the moment, I am 9 hours away visiting with family & friends, and my best friend is needing me so badly for a shoulder to lean on. We probably won't be going home until Thursday either, our plans are pretty set in stone.

[Melissa Bennett]

[Kat Stokes]
