Thoughts going out to Italian bothers and sisters

Nice thread... I second your sentiments... I hope they're all okay.

 

My prayers are with you as well....my own hometown is only 1 hour from L'Aquila and they felt the earth shake violently as well.

 

My prayers, too, are for the deceased, their families, and all others hurt.

 

Just saw this...

Thoughts and condolences for those people .

 

Very nice sentiment.......thoughts and prayers to all involved.

 

My prayers go out to all my family relatives and friends and to those families that have lost someone.May God bless you all.

 

Yes, my thoughts are with them. Talked to friends north of Rome and they slept through it. Fortunately they are about 40 miles away from the center. Others are not so fortunate.

 

Thoughts and prayers to all Italians.

 

I just made a donation to the Italian Red Cross (Crocce Rossa Italiana) to do my part to help those in their hour of need. It would be nice to think that other members of this community might be interested in doing the same. Those so inclined can follow this link:

Be sure to select “Sisma Abruzzo – Aprile 2009” under the “Causale della Donazione” heading. Also, click on “Stati Uniti” under “Nazione” to allow the form to work correctly for US donors.

 

I have family in Italy; hits close to home..

I forget a lot of you are not subscribed and missed the post in the silver section.

This is my Province(Abruzzo) I am from Chieti located 45 min away from Laquila where the devastation occurred. Some relatives live there we still can't get a hold of anyone though. Two other relatives were planning on flying out tomorrow for a two month stay in Laquila but now not sure what to do.

My Sister in Chieti was woken up by the tremors it cracked walls shook furniture but no casualties thank God.

Reports of an early prediction was made months earlier by a scientist but the President ordered him to pull all his information off the INTERNET because he was causing panic?????? I'm sorry but what a moron, thats just embarrassing. Now we will see a lot of back pedaling.

I know of a few others here on F-chat that are from Abruzzo as well, I hope your relatives are fine, prayers go out to all that were affected in this tragedy.

 

My thoughts are with all those effected by this tragedy.

 

I am sorry to hear of this Roberto!! I hope all your family is ok mate!!

My thoughts are with you and prayers to those involved!

 

My thoughts and prayers are with the Italian people in this time of tradgedy,may God be with this great nation that has given the rest of the world so much culture and such a passion for life.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and you Family and their friends now. I opened a beatiful 2004 Montalpuciano D'Abruzzo tonight in their honor. I hope and pray that all of my wine-making friends in that area are safe and sound.
Il Dio li benedice tutti.

All our relatives and friends are ok we received conformation from my sister, some damage to their properties only thank God.

Thanks Guys...

 

Glad to hear your family is safe and well Roberto!

 

I noticed that they now have an English language version of this page. Makes it all the easier to support this most worthy of causes!
