Laj, praying for you, Erik, his mom, and the rest of his family. What a horrible thing to have happen. I just watched a news story on this type of tragedy. I pray that his mother is returned soon. There is power in prayer.

Chewi, my retired, eldery inlaws go to their gated villa in Mexico EVERY year from Christmas to Easter for health reasons. They love it, but with each horror story, I get more and more worried for them.

Thanks again to all of you for your many prayers and well wishes. I am printing the page to give to Erik on Monday and I know it will touch his heart tremendously. He is such a wonderful man and has a lot of support surrounding him and his large family. He is a believer and knows his dad is with the Lord and if his mom is gone, he expects them to be together and he is drawing peace from knowing that. There is still no news as of this morning. I will continue to update if I hear anything more. ♥

What city did this occur in Lajonesin? I just can't imagine that fear he must be feeling for his mother and her whereabouts. Am holding a good thought that the find her soon. So tragic.

You took the words right out of my mouth Jarreau. Do you suppose he got to bring a bag of hairspray?

The drug war violence in Mexico is so disturbing. I used to love to travel there, but am now too scared to. Just so horrible that people are in the crossfire of this. Still holding out hope for your friend's mother.

Jush - can you hear Howey Long and Terry Bradshaw now - commenting on his "messed up hair" - do you remember the NFL show where Howey Long messed up his hair - I thought Jimmy was going to cry.

LOL I read an interview with Jimmy... he said one of the hardest things was something to do with his hair... I can't recall his exact statement, but I think it was not being able to brush his hair.
