THANK YOU for the post. I'm going to send it on to my mom. My great aunt called last night because she hasn't heard from our cousin yet and she's worried sick. He was from Gulfport.

There are also links of people asking for help under "volunteer" in making phone calls to reach their family........ for those that feel like they need to do something more than donate money.
