The Lee Family Interviewed: Katrina One year later

You will no doubt recall that today marks the one-year anniversary of
Hurricane Katrina. You will probably also recall that our congregation,
through the leadership of Shannon Hamrick, helped to furnish a house for
the Lee family who evactuated to Dallas from New Orleans. Shannon sent
me an email today, letting me know that Mrs. Lee will be interviewed as
a part of Nightline tonight. She thought you might all like to know
that.

Here's a part of Shannon's message:

I talked to Barbara Lee, the matriarch of the family from New Orleans
whose house we furnished last September. Her family is back in NOLA,
continuing to work on repairing their home, and working hard in their
commercial cleaning business.

As you may recall, Barbara lost her mother to death at the Convention
Center before coming to Dallas. Apparently, on Nightline tonight some
survivors will be interviewed regarding loss of loved ones, and she will
be one of them. She said it was good to be able to talk about it, and
to honor her mother's memory publicly.
