We started to see a groundswell of support. People were giving and giving and giving.

That's what's made this successful. People have stepped forward and done a real good job giving us the support. That's very good, and hopefully we can keep the town enthused.

This campaign is about the issues. Most people have said they support my effort to embrace recovery and redemption.

We are giving the families all the support we can.

It's overwhelming. You have this situation where everyone is giving so much support. I have always worked for everything. I'd give it all back and then some to have to not go through this.

The priority is making sure the next of kin are aware and giving support to the bereaved.
