Monroe County is known
for being a little like “May
berry’’ Everyone knows
everyone and sometimes
this may seem to be the
problem for most. In my
personal opinion, this May
berry stereotype is what
helped me and my family
back in 2011. In April 2011,
my house was destroyed by
a tornado. My family and I
lost everything. We didn’t
even know where to start at
picking up the pieces of our
lives and I literally mean
“picking up” the pieces. The
citizens of Monroe County
and other counties came to
our place and started work
ing diligently in helping us

clean up the debris. People
were bringing in containers
of tubs to put everything
in so that we could go
through it at a later time.
The vet took in our three
dogs, checked them out,
and boarded them for a
week and did not charge us
a penny. Food was deliv
ered to us. Money was giv
en to us. Hotel rooms were
given to us. Most impor
tantly there were churches
from all over the county
there working and praying
for us. There were several
who searched for our miss
ing dog and several that
searched for my missing
wedding band. Fortunately,
both were found by people
who just wanted to lend a
hand and help. I am forever
grateful and indebted to
the residents of Monroe
County. I will never forget
that unselfishness that
was poured onto us as we
were in shock and devas
tated. This is why Monroe
County is so important
to me and why I love this
county. The county is like
a big family. People may
bicker and argue but when
it comes down to it, the
people of the county will
always put aside their dif
ferences and help the fellow
countians. This is my way
to personally thank each
and every one of you for
your sacrifice during that
horrible time in my life.
God was smiling from ear
to ear that day as he seen
the county come together
for a neighbor. God works
in mysterious way. That
day he brought neighbors
together and the commu
nity together.
