We&#8217;ve found some of you who left from land, but none of you who went into the ocean and did not come out. I hope we find you all so your bodies can be laid to rest, and your families and friends can begin to heal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 22px\">I hope that this letter finds you peaceful and possibly in a place to lay down your excruciating passings. I hope that some of the good and beautiful after life stories are true, and that you are experiencing all of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 22px\">The world is grieving your leaving. We here at home mourn you silently with every step we take. It is still unbelievable that you are all gone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 22px\">Please know we are taking of those you had to leave here. They are safe and clothed and fed. They are still fire shocked, but they are safe. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 22px\">I hope this gets to all of you.
