**Send well wishes to the family by email at hopkinsrelief@sbcglobal.net .**

On November 6, 2007 the lives of our family were dramatically changed, when those we know as son, daughter, sister, brother, nephew, grandson, and friend were severely burned in a home explosion.  Although our hearts were deeply shocked and still stunned by the events; our family is strong, our faith is strong, and our love for Roger, Jonna, Thomas, and Grant could move mountains.

It is with heavy hearts and much love that we have created this website. Our hope is to keep friends, co-workers, and the community up to date on their conditions, opportunities to help, and needs. Most importantly, this website was created so that each of you might have a chance to send them notes of encouragement.

We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of prayers, calls, visits, and hugs. Many days those are the very things that kept us going. We can not possibly say "thank you" for all that has been done so far. Our hearts have been deeply touched.
