The heartbreaking story of the Engebretsen family |
|
All day on CNN Mr. Engebretsen and the two daughters were talking, expressing their hopes that the wife and mother - Sherry Lou Engebretsen - was in a coma at some hospital, listed as Jane Doe.
Earlier this evening four of the dead were identified - the same four from yesterday, I would think - and she is among them.

1. Very sad, but I would think knowing would be better than not knowing. nt |

2. There will be many more of these stories... |
|
That's what has all of us in the Twin Cities in knots. We know there will be many more victims found... Finding them is part of the healing process...
I must add that the First Responders here reacted swiftly and with VERY good communication and organization. We are very proud of those people...

3. I agree -- our first responders are first rate |
|
I heard about the collapse about a half hour after it happened and when I turned on the tv to watch the coverage, the police, fire, and paramedic teams were all over the thing like ants on an ant hill. I'm amazed how quickly they responded. We can be very proud of them and it is comforting to know SOME functions of government still work.
