I'm a childhood friend of Stacey, and she shared this link. I’m grateful that she did because this firsthand account shows the peril, the fear and the bad and the good that people do during desperate times. Hope to meet you and your family someday if you’re visiting Tucson! Wishing you and the people of Maui countless blessings. Stephen Gin

Beautifully written, Tony. We know Laura through her parents (I grew up with Keith) and he shared this, as we are usually there when he is. Thank you for sharing, and especially for ending your story with the only source of hope our Maui ohana has.

Wow, I’m speechless after hearing about the scenes behind the news stories.

Yes and amen to your last statement: God is good. Indeed God had and has His Provident Hand on you and yours, Tony, to deliver you all from disaster, praise Him!

And I couldn’t help but tear up when hearing about all the catastrophies that befell those who lost loved ones ❤️‍🩹
