To those of you who asked, the Ezehs are a wonderful family. Who fed and gave us
the comforts of home while we stayed in theirs. They are commissioned officers of
the Salvation Army (pastors) and have a great, lively son - Matthew.
There are three things we all recall that will eternally be etched in our memories.
The TOTAL devastation and inexcusable poverty. The joy and life of the Haitian
people despite their circumstance. And, finally, the kind and compassionate
Christian fortitude exemplified by the Ezeh's and the Salvation Army.
