We are so very sorry for your loss, Lamb Family. Tubacians are definitely giving people and rally together to help their neighbors. This has been the case for many years. In the late 1970's my family experienced a tragedy. We were amazed at the outpouring of support from people we knew, AND, more amazingly, for people we didn't know. I had been gone from this area for many years and returned a year ago. It is nice to know that the spirit of the area hasn't changed even though so many other things have. I cannot imagine what the Lamb family is going through, and I wish you all well in this very difficult time.
