I have to admit, I cried so hard after reading this story.

The tornado that tore through Fairdale, IL left a path of destruction that I could have never imagined.

I still haven't been able to bring myself to drive through the area, and I can't quite get though typing the sentence without tears in my eyes. I can not imagine the pain, sadness and grief felt through out the town.

Gerldine Schultz fell victim to the tornado, being one of the two lives that were taking Thursday morning. I can not imagine what widower Clem Schultz must be feeling.

I read this story on WGN about how he got word that someone 35 miles away from him found a photo that he and his wife had taken 25 years ago.

Yesterday, the photo arrived to his home while he was making funeral arrangements for his wife. Evan Bottlemy was the man who found the photo as he was walking with his friend near Harvard, IL.

The photo was soaking wet, but was in one piece. With the help of his daughter and Facebook they were able to track down Clem in order to return it to him.

Amazing.
