“At first we were afraid, we were petrified.
Kept thinking Texas couldn’t live in flood waters this high.
We know you spent plenty of time preparing for this Hurricane.
Who could have known that it would come with so much devastating rain? But, we will strive. And you’ll survive.
With all our love and help and prayers we will stand strongly by your side. We are your neighbors tried and true and we’ll do all we can for you. And you’ll survive, you will survive.
You will survive.”
