Hi Ms Lorie,
My name is Emie and i am Emma's daughter and Ricky's sister. I am in tampa. i think i met you for dinner at my house over the summer. Anyway, i talked to mommy today and she said everyone is fine. there was minimal damge to the house( a few shingles off)but the business got a little more. For the person inquiring about Lily's, the people who run and own it are my family. They were with mommy during the storm, so they are fine- tio pil, tia bina, lily, luis, lilian anf luisana. not quite sure about the status of the hotel. As for the people asking about the brownx- Eli, Eduardo, Barbara etc. ispoke to my best friend, eli's younger sister, dulce. she said everyones's fine but i think eli's new house is gone. thank you all for worrying and i hope to have eased your mind.
