❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

DURING THE STORM

❄️52. Assume downed lines are live and dangerous.
❄️53. Use only safe indoor heating methods.
❄️54. Check on neighbors, especially elderly, by phone if possible.

❄️58. Throw out refrigerated food if above 40°F for more than 4 hours.
❄️59. Avoid DIY electrical repairs around downed lines.
❄️60. Be patient—restoring power after ice can take several days.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

KEY REALITY FOR SOUTHERN ICE EVENTS
❄️A quarter inch of ice can bring scattered outages.
❄️Half an inch can cripple travel and power for days.
❄️Ice is more dangerous than snow for the Deep South

A memory you can actually hold.🤍🖤

This family received about 40 Parting Stones, so children and grandchildren could each have one, a tangible way to keep Dad close, every day.

And this photo says it all: three hands, three stones, and the same tattoo in honor of him. Talk about permanence, in every sense of the word.

Thank you, Gail, for sharing this beautiful photo with us. It means so much.

Please pray for the family of Martha "Mickey"  Giampeitro,  whose service will be held privately.
