George W. Bush: “I appreciate so very much your hospitality.”

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.
